- How does a neuron communicate a stimulus's strength?arrow_forwardYou want to record membrane potential changes in axons of neurons that process different types somatosensory information. Which sequence ranks the speed of maximum firing rate from slowest to fastest that you predict you will record a) muscle spindle < cutaneous mechanoreceptor < pain and temperature b) pain and temperature < muscle spindle < cutaneous mechanoreceptor c) cutaneous mechanoreceptor < pain and temperature < muscle spindle d) cutaneous mechanoreceptor < muscle spindle < pain and temperature e) muscle spindle < pain and temperature < cutaneous mechanoreceptor f) pain and temperature < cutaneous mechanoreceptor < muscle spindlearrow_forwardYou conduct an experiment in the lab to determine the adaptation rate of different touch receptors. Based on the data shown here, what can you conclude? (the top trace for each receptor is the stimulus and the bottom trace for each receptor is the receptor response) ||||| Receptor A Receptor B ||||||||||||—–—– Receptor A is slow adapting and receptor B is slow adapting Receptor A is fast adapting and receptor B is fast adapting Receptor A is fast adapting and receptor B is slow adapting Receptor A is slow adapting and receptor B is fast adaptingarrow_forward
