    The document summarizes the results of a student's pre-lab quiz, experiment, and post-lab quiz on neurophysiology and nerve impulses. The student correctly answered questions about sensory neurons, receptor potentials, and sensory modalities like pressure, chemicals, heat, and light. In the experiment, a Pacinian corpuscle responded most to moderate pressure, an olfactory receptor responded most to moderate chemicals, and a free nerve ending responded to multiple modalities. On the post-lab quiz, the student answered 3 of 4 questions correctly about graded potentials, stimulus-response relationships, and receptor proteins.

    Post-lab Quiz Results


    You scored 75% by answering 3 out of 4 questions correctly.
    1. A very intense stimulus can sometimes stimulate sensory neurons that have evolved for a different modality. Thus, with
    a blow to the eye, one "sees stars." In this example the photoreceptors in the eye are responding to
    You correctly answered: c. intense pressure.
    2. Olfactory receptor neurons respond to low concentrations of chemical odorants because there are membrane proteins in
    the receptor ending of this sensory neuron that
    You correctly answered: b. can bind and respond to the specific odorant.
    3. The sequence of events starting with a sensory stimulus and ending with a change in membrane potential is called
    Your answer: d. a sensory receptor.
    Correct answer: c. sensory transduction.
    4. Starting at a resting membrane potential of -70 mV, a change to which of the following represents the largest receptor
    potential?
    You correctly answered: d. a change to -50 mV

    Review Sheet Results


    1. Sensory neurons have a resting potential based on the efflux of potassium ions (as demonstrated in Activity 1). What
    passive channels are likely found in the membrane of the olfactory receptor, in the membrane of the Pacinian corpuscle,
    and in the membrane of the free nerve ending?
    Your answer:
    Passive potassium channels
    2. What is meant by the term graded potential?
    Your answer:
    amplitude increases with stimulus intensity
    3. Identify which of the stimulus modalities induced the largest amplitude receptor potential in the Pacinian corpuscle. How
    well did the results compare with your prediction?
    Your answer:
    pressure. correctly
    4. Identify which of the stimulus modalities induced the largest amplitude receptor potential in the olfactory receptors. How
    well did the results compare with your prediction?
    Your answer:
    chemical. correctly
    5. The olfactory receptor also contains a membrane protein that recognizes isoamylacetate and, via several other
    molecules, transduces the odor stimulus into a receptor potential. Does the Pacinian corpuscle likely have this
    isoamylacetate receptor protein? Does the free nerve ending likely have this isoamylacetate receptor protein?
    Your answer:
    yes. yes.
    6. What type of sensory neuron would likely respond to the green light?
