a) Based upon how the neural membrane functions, briefly explain how electrical
stimulation can cause a neuron to generate an action potential. Describe in one
sentence a type of action potential that can be generated by electrical stimulation, but
that cannot be generated by synaptic inputs.
b) The central part of the retina consists largely of cones, which are responsible for
colour vision in normal sight. However, presently available retinal prostheses are not
able to reliably provide a perception of colour for people implanted with these devices.
Explain why people with a retinal prosthesis are currently unable to reliably perceive
colour.
How does the sensory transduction mechanism in the vestibular and auditory systems demonstrate the importance of the general principle of physiology that controlled exchange of materials occurs between compartments and across cellular membranes?
What is the importance of Receptor Field Overlap?

- There are five basic tastes—sour, salty, sweet, bitter, and“umami.” Salt is detected when the concentration of salt outside of a taste bud cell is higher than that inside of it, and ionchannels allow the passive leakage of Na+into the cell. Theresulting change in membrane potential (see Concept 7.4)sends the “salty” signal to the brain. Umami is a savory tastegenerated by glutamate (glutamic acid, found in monosodiumglutamate, or MSG), which is used as a flavor enhancer in foodssuch as taco-flavored tortilla chips. The glutamate receptor is aGPCR, which, when bound, initiates a signaling pathway thatends with a cellular response, perceived by you as “taste.” If youeat a regular potato chip and then rinse your mouth, you willno longer taste salt. But if you eat a flavored tortilla chip andthen rinse, the taste persists. (Try it!)
