Question
Chapter 33, Problem 14RQ
Summary Introduction
To give: The meaning of the given statement “the idea that all sense organs behaving as biological transducers is a unifying concept in sensory physiology”.
Introduction: In order to regulate the lives, animals need a continuous inflow of information from the external environment. The sense organs are defined as the specialized sensory organs that are essential to identify the environmental status as well as change.

Receptors such as those in the inner ear, respond to stimulation with an AM response. In contrast, a neuron connected to that receptor, sending information centrally (ex: the brain) respond in an FM manner. Differentiate between:
I. how the degree of stimulation to the receptor is encoded as compared to,
II. the degree of the stimulation encoding by the neuron connected to the receptor
An in-class test of the opponent process theory of color vision relied on a basic principle of
neurophysiology to explain color afterimages. What is this basic principle?
O If a cell is excited or inhibited for a long period of time by a strong stimulus, when the stimulus is terminated
the cell will temporarily "undershoot" or "overshoot" its normal activity rate.
Receptor cells are able to respond to a wide variety of sensory inputs, but sensory neurons are only able to
respond to a select few types of inputs.
Sensory receptors are the first cells to process incoming stimuli, while sensory neurons have to rely on input
from receptors in order to function.
Retinal ganglion cells act in a non-intuitive "opposite" fashion, being inhibited by a strong stimulus, but excited
by a weak stimulus.
Outline the neurochemical transmission and inhibition of pain. Then using the gate-control theory, devise a plan to minimize pain during your next visit to the dentist.
