- Can a sensory receptor transmit signals for two different modalities? Why or why not?
- Can a nerve transmit action potentials from different types of sensory receptors? Why or why not?
Homework Answers
A) No,A sensory receptor cannot transmit signals from two different modalities.
Each unique type of sensation such as touch, pain, vision or hearing is called a sensory modality.A given sensory neuron carry information for only one sensory modality. Neuron relaying impulses for touch to the somatosensory area of cerebral cortex don't transmit impulses for pain. Likewise, nerve impulses from the eyes are perceived as sight and those from ears are perceived as sound .
B)NO,A NERVE CANNOT TRASMIT ACTION POTENTIALS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF SENSORY RECEPTORS.
The process of sensation begins in a sensory receptor which can be either a specialized cell or the dendrites of a sensory neuron. A given sensory receptor responds vigorously to one particular kind of stimulus. A sensory receptor respond only weakly or nokt at all to other stimuli. This characteristic of sensory receptor is called selectivity.
Sensory neurons are also called afferent neurons.Neurons in the central nervous system, which can convert a specific type of stimulus,through their receptors, into action potential(graded potential)are called sensory neurons. This process is also called sensory transduction.
Each type of sensory neurons have specific sensory receptors that exhibit selectivity.It can transduce only one kind of stimulus

For each of the sensory modalities walk through the physiology and circuitry from the periphery (external stimulus)to the first action potential produced. Be!sure to describe the kind of stimuli, metabotropic!and/or ionotropic receptors, a neurotransmitter released (and whether it's excitatory or inhibitory on postsynaptic cell), and the kind of potential (graded vs.!action)in each cell. Make sure to also name each cell. A. Gustation (Choose a tastant of your choice) B. Olfaction C.Visual D.Auditory E. Somatosensory i. Meissner corpuscle ii.Merkel-neurite complex

Describe the differences in the action potentials from the different stimuli(air, touch, sound)? How did the response you measured in the ventral nerve cord change with different sound levels?Did different types of stimuli activate different sensory spines on the cockroach cerci? Suggest other factors that could influence the amplitude of the action potentials. this is a neuroscience lab question. i dont understand how to explain. but everytime, air( wind), sound (clap), and touch(wooden probe) was given to the cockroach's cerci,...

You are recording signals from a postsynaptic neuron that contains only one type of ionotropic receptor (and no other receptors of any kind). Your goal is to determine the reversal potential for this type of receptor. When you hold the membrane potential at -50 mV and activate these receptors, you observe that this causes IPSCs. Based on this information, what can you conclude about the reversal potential (Erev) for these receptors? (Assume that the ion concentrations inside and outside this...

Nerve impulses are carried along axons, the elongated fibers that transmit neural signals. We can model an axon as a tube with an inner diameter of 10 μm. The tube wall is insulated, but the fluid inside it has a resistivity of 0.50 Ω⋅m. Part A What is the resistance of a 6.0-mm-long axon? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Diagnostic clinical reasoning
Action potentials are propagated down the length of an axon via both passive and active membrane properties. The rate at which the action potential travels is variable and depends on axon diameter and myelin.

Question about: Sensory Reception This is my homework I need help with. There is no more information I can provide with. Please help! Thanks!! All organisms interact with their environment by receiving and processing information from the environment and then responding to that information. Describe the difference in sensory reception between a single-celled organism and a multicelled animal. Draw a representation to show how the human body detects two different types of sensory signals. Label the structures in your illustration.
