Question
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
Solution
The correct answer is d- stays for a variable period depending on the type of the receptor.
Here's why:
a- The receptor potential does not spread to a long distance along the sensory nerve fiber. It is localized to the receptor region.
b- The amplitude of the receptor potential is related to the strength of the stimulus. A stronger stimulus will cause a larger receptor potential.
c- The receptor potential does not always generate an action potential from the receptor. It needs to reach a certain threshold to generate an action potential.
d- The receptor potential can stay for a variable period depending on the type of the receptor. Different receptors have different adaptation rates and this affects the duration of the receptor potential.
