The perceptual threshold describes the O intensity of stimulus required to generate an action potential. O intensity of stimulus required to generate a receptor potential. O convergence of information from multiple primary sensory neuron onto a single secondary neuron. concept that neurons higher in the sensory pathway can dampen the intensity of a stimulu
Events in Visual Perception Potassium channels open. Potassium ions move out of the neuron. Some sodium channels open in the neuronal membrane of the dendrite. All ion channels close and the Na+/K+ exchange pump starts working. Some sodium ions diffuse into the neuron membrane of the dendrite. Lights hit the retina. The threshold level is reached at the neuronal membrane of the dendrite. The remaining sodium channels open. Sodium ions move into the neuron. List, in order, the events in visual perception that must occur for a person to see an object:
When there is an increase in stimulus strength on a pain receptor, more pain is felt. What would best explain this? The number of IPSP's decreases. The stimulus is now supramaximal The pain receptor adapts to the larger stimulus The frequency of action potentials increases
Why does your eye have a blind spot? O There is only axons and blood vessels in that region of your eye The lens bends the light in such a way that it cannot reach a small portion of the retina. Light cannot reach the edges of the eye because the pupil is too small O The receptors in that region are obstructed Next Page Page 2 of 10 Previous Page
After you sniff an odorant, the odorant then O is prepared for the olfactory receptor cells by the basal cells. O dissolves in the mucus layer. O is endocytosed. O is degraded. O binds to an ionotropic receptor.
Which is true? The oval and round windows are parts of the ear lobe The hair cells are in the middle ear The outer ear directs sound and amplifies it at some frequencies. The neuro-feedback mechanism in the middle air protects hearing to some extent from loud sound
Which of the following statements is NOT true about the sensory systems? Chemoreceptors are responsible for our senses of taste and smell Mechanoreceptors respond to physical motion and changes in shape A constant sensory stimulus may eventually lead to a decreased response thanks to sensory adaptation All of our senses except for sight travel through the thalamus where they eventually go on to the primary sensory area of the cerebrum Our sensory systems respond to external stimuli like sight and sound, but also internal stimuli like blood sugar levels or muscle contractions
How can receptors be classified? Describe each of the following receptors and indicate what sensation it detects &give an example of where it can be found in the body: nociceptors, thermoreceptors, mechanoreceptors (bothproprioceptors & baroreceptors), chemoreceptors, and photoreceptors.
The receptors for olfaction are cilia You are incorrect membrane of the olfactory cribriform plate You are correct bulbs You are correct olfactory You are incorrect cilia into the nasal cavity, where chemicals dissolved in mucus bond to proteins in the plasma You are correct of the ethmoid X neurons that project a You are correct . The axons of the receptors project through the bone to the olfactory which contain the second order neurons of the olfactory pathway.

Which of the following is a structure that is activated by a particular stimulus and whose activation results in action potentials in a sensory neuron? Sensory adaptation Sensory receptor Sensation Sensory perception
What happens to voltage-gated Ca++ channels on hair cells when the hair cells move toward the shorter stereocilia? They open allowing Ca++ to exit They open allowing Ca++ entry They remain closed They go from open to closed
