- Why does your eye have a blind spot? O There is only axons and blood vessels in that region of your eye The lens bends the light in such a way that it cannot reach a small portion of the retina. Light cannot reach the edges of the eye because the pupil is too small O The receptors in that region are obstructed Next Page Page 2 of 10 Previous Pagearrow_forwardTable to compare the different types of sensory receptors and to predict the results of damage of each. Please I need a surely answer and a quicker responsearrow_forwardWhen waves push the basilar membrane up and down, the stereocilia move back and forth, opening up ion channels, allowing this ion to move into the hair cells and depolarizing the membrane.

- I need help plsarrow_forwardWhen the human eye is in complete darkness, how do the cones of the eye respond? Only one type is stimulated None of the types are stimulated All types are stimulated Only two types are stimulatedarrow_forwardThe olfactory system has many receptor types but the transduction process is very similar in each receptor type. What do these transduction processes all have in common? They all use G protein-coupled receptors. They are all linked to a particular gustatory (taste) receptor type. O They all use ionotropic receptors. O They all involve temporarily hyperpolarizing the receptors, rather than depolarizing them.arrow_forward
- The membrane potential of cells within the visual system is recorded in the dark, then following a brief flash of light. During the flash of light you would expect __________ cells to _____________ a rod cell; hyperpolarize b bipolar cell; depolarize c ganglion cell; depolarize d all of the above are correctarrow_forwardWhat would happen to the ability to smell if a drug that inhibited adenylate cyclase were applied to the olfactory epithelium of a vertebrate? Would this drug affect the sensing of pheromones if applied to the vomeronasal epithelium? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardwhich of the following is true of chemical signals? - they can only be perceived by the intended reciever - they require physical contact between a molecule and a receptor adapted to fit that molecule - they are perceptible from longer distances, on average, than mechanical signals such as sound waves - they are used almost exclusively in a mating or courtship contextarrow_forward
