Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Depolarization of rods and cones when the ion channels opens, they are largely sodium channels. On the opening of ion channels present on cell membrane the calcium can enter through these channels.

Under which condition would the release of neurotransmitter by bipolar cells attached to cones be greatest? Group of answer choices focusing intently on a close object focusing intently on a distant object under normal room light immediately after going outside in bright sunlight in a pitch-black room after 30 minutes
Drag the labels onto the diagram to identify the components of somatic sensory pathways. First synapse in medulla, ipsilateral to the stimulus First synapse in spinal cord, ipsilateral to the stimulus Fine touch, vibration, proprioception Crosses midline in spinal cord Second synapse in thalamus, contralateral to the stimulus Pain, temperature, coarse touch Third synapse in primary somatic sensory cortex, contralateral to the stimulus Crosses midline in medulla SOMATOSENSORY PATHWAYS
A scientist has dissected out a small section of the retina and is able to directly record the action potential firing rate in a single ganglion cell.  Assume there is a on-center off-surround bipolar cell connected to an on-center off-surround ganglion cell.  When applying ‘Stimulus 1’ the scientist records a moderate action potential rate. When applying ‘Stimulus 2’ the rate of action potentials increases substantially. In the context of this experiment no illumination is an option as a 'Stimulus'.  ‘Stimulus 2’ would result in what response in the bipolar cell (the one connected to the ganglion cell the scientist is measuring)? A. A large depolarization of the bipolar cell membrane    B. The bipolar cell membrane would remain at the resting membrane potential    C. A large hyperpolarization of the bipolar cell membrane    D. A small hyperpolarization of the bipolar cell membrane    E. A small depolarization of the bipolar cell membrane
