Question

Question 6 Why would a stimulus of large magnitude to this afferent neuron be more likely to cause the cell to make an action potential than would a stimulus of low magnitude? Na* Na" channel Stimulus. 0 ? Action potential 2 nonspecific cation channel Na* Sensory receptor (modified ending of afferent neuron) Afferent neuron fiber (a) Receptor potential in specialized afferent ending O it would open more nonspecific cation channels, thus opening more voltage-gated Na+ channels O it would hyperpolarize the cell O it would open fewer nonspecific cation channels, thus opening fewer voltage-gated Na+ channels it would open more nonspecific cation channels, thus opening fewer voltage-gated Nat channels

Explanation / Answer

Question 6: It would open more non specific cation channels,thus opening more voltage gated Na+ channels

Question 2: True
