Question
Chapter 16, Problem 11DYKB
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The five classifications of receptors according to the modality of stimulus and also to cite an example of each.
Concept introduction:
The smallest unit of life is a cell. It is the structural, functional and basic unit of life. Cells make tissues and tissues make organ systems and organ systems make organisms. The nervous system is a type of organ system and is the master controller of all the organ systems in humans. It works on the basis of response and stimulus. There are certain receptors with help of which humans can receive stimulus.

- In 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.arrow_forwardHow do we distinguish a strong stimulus from a weak one when the information about both stimuli is relayed by action potentials that are all the same amplitude?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is the correct sequence of the neural chain of events set in motion by an environmental stimulus?
