Concept explainers
Place the following sequence of events for the detection of somatic sensation in the proper order. Place a 1 by the first event, a 2 by the second event, and so on.
a. _________ The central process transmits the action potential to a second-order sensory neuron in the CNS.
b. ________ The action potential is transferred to the central process in the posterior root ganglion.
c. ________ The stimulus triggers an action potential.
d. _________ The signal is transferred to other CNS sensory neurons for eventual perception and interpretation.
e. _______ The action potential is propagated along the peripheral process of the neuron.

- Noggin mutation: The mouse, one of the phenotypic consequences of Noggin mutationis mispatterning of the spinal cord, in the posterior region of the mouse embryo, suchthat in the hindlimb region the more ventral fates are lost, and the dorsal Pax3 domain isexpanded. (this experiment is not in the lectures).a. Hypothesis for why: What would be your hypothesis for why the ventral fatesare lost and dorsal fates expanded? Include in your answer the words notochord,BMP, SHH and either (or both of) surface ectoderm or lateral plate mesodermarrow_forwardNot part of a graded assignment, from a past midtermarrow_forwardNot part of a graded assignment, from a past midtermarrow_forward
