What is the average speed for a myelinated neuron?

a)

1 m/s

b)

10 m/s

c)

100 m/s

10.

What is an energy transducer?

a)

A receptor that sends a nerve impulse

b)

A receptor that sends an action potential

c)

A receptor that is adapted to detect changes

d)

A receptor that converts one form of energy to another

11.

What type of receptor is a Pacinian Corpuscle?

a)

Thermoreceptor

b)

Chemoreceptor

c)

Photoreceptor

d)

Mechanoreceptor

12.

The bulbs of Krause are also known as:

a)

Bulboid Corpuscles

b)

Thermoreceptors

c)

Mechanoreceptors

d)

Wilhelm Corpuscles

13.

What are the name of the channels in the Pacinian corpuscles?

a)

Voltage gated sodium channel

b)

Stretch mediated sodium channel

c)

Ligated chanel

d)

Sodium-Potassium Channel

14.

In the pacinian corpuscles resting state the channel is too narrow to allow (a)   to pass through.

15.

When pressure is applied the corpuscle changes shape which causes the membrane to stretch. Sodium ions (a)   into the neuron.

16.

The influx of positive changes changes the potential of the membrane. It becomes (a)  

17.

This results in a generator potential being created. This initiates an (a)   along the sensory neuron.
