A depolarization that happens in a sensory receptor on stimulation is known as a potential.

Depolarization is initiated by a stimulus that makes the membrane potentialMultiple ChoiceUnchangedNeutralMore positiveMore negative

Receptor potential initiated by an adequate stimulus:- a- develops always at it full magnitudesb- undergoes temporal summation onlyc- undergoes spatial summation onlyd- could initiate an action potential

What is a generator potential (also known as a receptor potential)?Group of answer choicesthe potential at which a sensory stimulus has no effect on a sensory neuronthe potential which blocks action potential production in a sensory neuron activated by its adequate stimulusthe change in membrane potential generated in the post-synaptic neuron which a sensory neuron synapses with in the CNSthe potential evoked by the stimulus which drives the action potential firing in a sensory nerve terminalthe potential at which action potentials are inhibited in a sensory neuron PreviousNext

nce initiated, the receptor potential a- spreads to a long distance along the sensory nerve fiberb- amplitude is not related to the strength of the stimulusc- always generates an action potential from the receptord- stays for a variable period depending on the type of the receptor

The receptor potential _______.can be graded with stimulus intensityamplitude can vary with the stimulus intensityamplitude can vary with the stimulus intensity, requires the appropriate stimulus and can be graded with a stimulus intensityrequires the appropriate stimulus
