- Which of the following statements correctly describes the all-or-none principle? a. A neuron produces a complete response or no response to a stimulus. b. A stimulus depolarizes all of the neurons in the body or none at all. c. A neuron produces a complete response to every stimulus. d. A stimulus repolarizes all of the neurons in the body or none at all.arrow_forwardIf the response to a stimulus is a change from a negative potential to a less negative potential, the change is called: stimulus response Repolarization Depolarization Stimulus recoveryarrow_forwardList the physiological events that occur between delivery of the stimulus and the start of the recordedresponse (i.e. during the latent period).arrow_forward
- The reflex arc is the fastest way the body has to move a body part from danger or away from the source of pain. Have you ever noticed your own reflex response? Did you notice that you felt the pain after you yanked your hand away from the source of pain? Which is the sequence of structures involved in a reflex response? a. motor neurons → effectors → brain → sensory neurons → interneurons b. effectors → sensory neurons → brain → motor neurons c. sensory neurons → interneurons → motor neurons → effectors d. sensory neurons → motor neurons → interneurons → effectorsarrow_forwardWhich of the following are mechanisms of gustation transduction? Select one or more: a. Hydrogen atoms activate proton channels b. Sodium ions activate sodium channels and a graded potential is produced c. Entry of sodium and calcium causes the cell to depolarize and voltage-gated calcium channels to open d. Calcium ions activate calcium channels and a graded potential is producedarrow_forwardWhich of the following is the correct sequence of the neural chain of events set in motion by an environmental stimulus? (A) Receptors, afferent neurons, interneurons, efferent neurons, effectors (B) Receptors, efferent neurons, interneurons, afferent neurons, effectors (C) Interneurons, effectors, receptors, afferent neurons, efferent neurons (D) Effectors, interneurons, receptors, afferent neurons, efferent neurons (E) Effectors, receptors, afferent neurons, effer- ent neurons, interneuronsarrow_forward
- As the strength of a depolarizing stimulus to an axon is increased, a. the amplitude of action potentials increases. b. the duration of action potentials increases. c. the speed with which action potentials are conducted increases. d. the frequency with which action potentials are produced increases.arrow_forwardIn negative feedback systems the receptor sends a negative signal the stimulus is increased or amplified the effector reduces or eliminates the stimulus the control center receives input from the effector the receptor increases or enhances the stimulusarrow_forwardWhich of these is most consistent with the same-object advantage? a. faster reaction times occur when a target is located within the same object that is receiving the participant’s attention, even if the participant is looking at another place within the object. b. faster reaction times occur when a target is located within the same object that is receiving the participant’s attention, except when the participant is looking at another place within the object. c. slower reaction times occur when a target is located within the same object that is receiving the participant’s attention, even if the participant is looking at another place within the object. d. slower reaction times occur when a target is located within the same object that is receiving the participant’s attention, except when the participant is looking at another place within the object.arrow_forward
- Both potassium and sodium channels located along the nerve membrane are voltage-gated. This means that they respond to the changes in the voltage by opening and closing the gates to allow the ions to flow in or out of the membrane. When the threshold level is reached and depolarization occurs, how come only the sodium ions begin to rush in? a. The threshold levels for both sodium and potassium channels are equal, but sodium channels are slower to open. b. The threshold levels for both sodium and potassium channels are equal, but potassium channels take longer to open. c. The threshold level for the potassium channels is lower than the sodium channels. d. The threshold level for the potassium channels is higher than the sodium channels.arrow_forwardElectric signals can be used to Write the letters of all that apply in the box below.

C) block pain. D) contract muscles.arrow_forwardDescribe the passage of information through the nervous system using a specific example.Be sure to include in detail: A.The collection of stimuli at the sense organ and receptors involved as well as graded potential. B.The passing of the impulse along ascending pathways. C.Location in the brain that processes the information. D.Sending out motor information from brain. E.The passing of the impulse down descending pathways. F.Response by a skeletal muscle.arrow_forward
