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

All sensory organs convert energy in the environment into action potentials in the nervous systern. Explain the process of how our ears convert energy in the form of sound waves in the air into action potentials along a nerve. Include the appropriate order of structures and regions of the ear as well as the physiological process of creating action potentials and interpreting them in the brain.
An example of a sensory neuron is one that leads from a pain receptor in the finger to the spinal cord. A pin can be pressed against the skin without eliciting a response from the pain receptor. However, if the pin is jabbed into the finger, the pain receptor may be stimulated and the finger would quickly be withdrawn through a reflex arc. How do we sense different types of pain (very painful vs. not painful at all)? Using the threshold potential and the all-or-none principle, explain how it is possible to sense different levels of pain.
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. Why is this important for you to know in public health
a channel can be gated mechanically, voltage or by a ligand. When you hear a sound all three of these type channels are being utilized. Explain generally where/how each of these channels are being utilized starting from hearing the sound, through travelling down a nerve to transmission to another nerve.
