Assume there is a on-center off-surround bipolar cell connected to an on-center off-surround ganglion cell. When applying ‘Stimulus 1’ the scientist records a moderate action potential rate. When applying ‘Stimulus 2’ the rate of action potentials increases substantially. In the context of this experiment no illumination is an option as a 'Stimulus'. ‘Stimulus 2’ would result in what response in the bipolar cell (the one connected to the ganglion cell the scientist is measuring)? A. A large depolarization of the bipolar cell membrane B. The bipolar cell membrane would remain at the resting membrane potential C. A large hyperpolarization of the bipolar cell membrane D. A small hyperpolarization of the bipolar cell membrane E. A small depolarization of the bipolar cell membraneApplying a pressure stimulus to the fluid-filled capsule of an isolated Pacinian corpuscle causes a brief burst of action potentials in the afferent neuron, which ceases until the pressure is removed, at which time another brief burst of action potentials occurs. If an experimenter removes the capsule and applies pressure directly to the afferent neuron ending, action potentials are continuously fired during the stimulus. Explain these results in the context ofadaptation.
- A voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference across a neuron’s membrane. A change in potential difference will occur when an action potential is generated. A neurologist uses a giant squid neuron to study the propagation of an action potential. She places two voltmeters on the axon membrane to measure the potential difference: one near the dendrite and the other at the axon terminal. A stimulus is then applied. Often, the stimulus is applied at one end of the neuron. In this experiment, the scientist decides to stimulate the middle of the neuron. Which statement describes what the scientist would observe at the voltmeters? Select one: a. Both voltmeters will indicate changes to the potential difference. b. No changes to the potential differences will be registered at the voltmeters. c. The voltmeter at the dendrite will indicate a change to the potential difference. d. The voltmeter at the axon terminal will indicate a change to the potential difference.A voltmeter is used to measure the potential difference across a neuron’s membrane.

After stimulation of the stretch receptors, which of the following would you observe? An EPSP An action potential An IPSP No change in voltage
- when a stimulus is applied for a prolonged period the rate of receptor discharge slowsDrag the labels onto the diagram to identify the components of somatic sensory pathways. First synapse in medulla, ipsilateral to the stimulus First synapse in spinal cord, ipsilateral to the stimulus Fine touch, vibration, proprioception Crosses midline in spinal cord Second synapse in thalamus, contralateral to the stimulus Pain, temperature, coarse touch Third synapse in primary somatic sensory cortex, contralateral to the stimulus Crosses midline in medulla SOMATOSENSORY PATHWAYSIn the process of sensory coding Recruitment of additional neurons occurs with a weak stimulus in order to make the stimulus stronger. The larger the receptive field of a sensory receptor, the greater the expected acuity and the more accurate the two-point discrimination. Lateral inhibition of neighboring receptors resulting in a relative reduction of action potentials in the neighboring second order neurons would be expected to increase acuity. A receptor potential that remains suprathreshold into the absolute refractory period will result in additional action potentials.
