1
Define receptor
Cells which detect specific stimulus + convert energy into a generator potential
2
Define generator potential
Initial action potential
Occurs at receptor
Occurs at receptor
3
What is a pacinian curpuscle?
Pressure receptor
4

5
Describe the process of a generator potential being produced
At rest, stretch mediated Na+ channels (SMNC) too narrow to allow Na+ in
Pressure applied
Pacinian corpuscle changes shape
Stretches open SMNC
Na+ diffuses into neurone and makes inside of membrane more positive
GP produced if threshold reached
Stimulates more Na+ channels to open and AP generated

GP produced if threshold reached
Stimulates more Na+ channels to open and AP generated
6
What makes an AP more likely to be generated from a GP?
More pressure = more SMNC open = more Na+ open = threshold more likely
7
How is pressure intensity detected by the brain?
More intense = more frequent AP

Features of rod cells
Sensitive to low light
Low visual acuity
Black and white
Evenly spread on retina
Low visual acuity
Black and white
Evenly spread on retina
12
Why do rod cells have low visual acuity?
Multiple rod cells to 1 bipolar neurone
Retinal convergence means brain can't distinguish between AP
Retinal convergence means brain can't distinguish between AP
13
Why do rod cells have have sensitivity to light?
Multiple rod cells to 1 bipolar neurone
Spatial summation
Threshold for AP more likely to be reached
Spatial summation
Threshold for AP more likely to be reached
14
What pigment is found in rod cells?
Rhodopsin
15
Features of cone cells
High visual acuity
Colour vision
Mainly in fovea
