When a single photon from a source of light hits the retina in the eye, it triggers a signal that travels along the optic nerve to the occipital lobe of the brain.
The interaction of a photon with the photoreceptors in the retina first causes the movement of sodium ions into a sensory neuron. What happens after the movement of sodium ions?
a. Sodium ions move out of a sensory neuron.
b. Potassium ions move out of a sensory neuron.
c. Sodium ions move into an interneuron.
d. Potassium ions move into an interneuron.
When you begin to move up or down in an elevator, you can still sense that you are moving even though there are no visual cues. Which sensory organ would be most responsible for detecting this?
a.
Merkel cells
b.
Pacinian corpuscles
c.
Otolith organs
d.
Semicircular canals
Regarding the sensation of various species, which of the following statements is false?
A. The eyes of honeybees transduce parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that are invisible to humans
B. Bats ears transduce sound waves that humans cannot hear
C. Research has shown that the human eye transducers all of the electromagnetic spectrum to the brain, but the brain is unable to perceive it.
D. Sharks have special organs that can sense the bioelectric fields of other living things

- This image is of the very back of the eye. Light would be coming in from the left towards the right side. WHich label indicates the photo receptor rod and cone cells? A. middle layer, red and green B. rods and cones are not in this image, they are much closer to the front of the eye ball C. far right side, purple and yellow D. far left side, grayarrow_forwardWhat function do the malleus, incus, and stapes bones in the inner ear play in processing sounds? A. The bones transform pressure waves into nerve impulses that the brain recognizes as sound. B. The bones equalize pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere. C. The bones transmit vibrations to the oval window setting the fluid in the cochlea in motion. D. The bones depolarize or hyperpolarize hair cells depending on the direction they vibrate.arrow_forwardWhich statement is FALSE? A. The basilar membrane fibers nearer the oval window are long and fluffy B. Sound signals are processed by the resonance of the basilar membrane before reaching the receptors C. Different frequencies of pressure waves in the cochlea cause specific places along the basilar membrane to vibrate, stimulating particular hair cells and sensory neurons. D. None of the choicesarrow_forward
- The transduction process of converting light into neural signals sent to the central nervous system involves which of these steps? A. Bipolar Cells collect signals from Rods and Cones. B. The Optic Nerve carries signals about light from the Lateral Geniculate Nuclues to the Retinal Ganglion Cells. C. Retinal Ganglion Cells relay information to Rods and Cones. D. Light that reaches the eyes passes first through the Retina which focuses that light onto the Cornea.arrow_forwardWhat is unusual about the olfactory receptors? a. Olfactory neurons have more than one axon. b. Humans do not begin forming olfactory neurons until nearly 2 years old. c. We continue forming new olfactory neurons throughout life. d. An unusually strong blood–brain barrier protects olfactory neurons from damage.arrow_forwardIn complete darkness, why are there no neural signals being sent to the brain by the retinal ganglion cells? A. glutamate release from rods stimulates the retinal ganglion cells B. glutamate release from rods stimulates bipolar cells which then inhibit retinal ganglion cells C. glutamate release from rods is reduced which then fails to excite retinal ganglion cells D. glutamate release from rods inhibits the bipolar cells which then inhibit retinal ganglion cellsarrow_forward
- Which touch receptor would be responsible for sensing your strong grip on a coffee mug? a. Pacinian Corpuscles b. Merkel Cells c. Ruffini Endings d. Meissner Cellsarrow_forwardWhich statement regarding rods and cones is most accurate? a.) Rods and cones carry signals to the brain so an image can be formed. b.) Rods and cones refract light to focus it on the retina. c.) Rods and cones are photoreceptors, which detect light. d.) Rods and cones monitor the amount of light entering the eye and adjust the size of the pupil.arrow_forwardHair cell vibrations that open and close ion channels in the membrane are the basis of which sensory process? a. hearing b. vision c. smell d. taste Which of the following is NOT associated with depression? a. Elevated angiotensin II b. Elevated glutamate c. Elevated glucocorticoidsarrow_forward
- If a person is born blind, in what way do the senses of hearing and touch improve? a. The person gradually develops more receptors in the ears and skin. b. The number of receptors does not change, but each of them becomes more responsive to weak stimuli. c. The receptors in the ears and skin send faster action potentials to the brain. d. Through practice the person learns to increase attention to hearing and touch, and those sensations come to activate the occipital cortex.arrow_forwardWhen you exit a dark room into a brightly lit environment, within seconds, you to see a crisp view of your surroundings. However, when you enter a dark room from a brightly lit environment, your eyes might take more than 10 minutes to become used to the new surroundings. Your eyes are waiting for: a. the rods to begin to function b. the cones to begin to function c. the pupils to get smallerarrow_forwardWhich of the following is TRUE about cone cells? a. The three types of cones that humans have are called Q-cones, R-cones, and S-cones b. There are no cones at all in areas important for peripheral vision c.
