Tristan accidentally touches a hot propane torch. He immediately withdraws his hand and then exclaims “ouch!” Why did Tristan exclaim “ouch!” after he had withdrawn his hand from the hot coffee?
Select one:
a. The threshold of the sensory receptor was exceeded and an action potential to the brain could not be triggered.
b. The neural processing is faster through the spinal cord than the processing involving the brain.
c. The sensory receptors in the fingers were damaged by the hot torch and were not able to send a fast signal to the brain.
d. The hot torch triggered too many receptors and resulted in an excessive number of nerve impulses travelling to the brain. The brain was not able to process all the signals fast enough.

- Applying a pressure stimulus to the fluid-filled capsule of an isolated Pacinian corpuscle causes a brief burst of action potentials in the afferent neuron, which ceases until the pressure is removed, at which time another brief burst of action potentials occurs. If an experimenter removes the capsule and applies pressure directly to the afferent neuron ending, action potentials are continuously fired during the stimulus.
