Video transcript

Hello everyone here We have a question asking which of the following is not processed through sensory transaction. A light intensity. Be loud and faint noises, see skin compression or D hot and cold. Light intensity, loud and faint noises and skin compression translates sensory signals to electric signals before they can be interpreted by the brain and are therefore processed through sensory transaction. However hot and cold are directly differentiated through our warm and cold receptors. So our answer here is the hot and cold. Thank you for watching. Bye.

During the contraction of a vertebrate skeletal muscle fiber, calcium ions a. break cross-bridges as a cofactor in hydrolysis of ATP. b. bind with troponin, changing its shape so that the myosin-binding sites on actin are exposed. c. transmit action potentials from the motor neuron to the muscle fiber. d. spread action potentials through the T tubules.

Textbook Question

The transduction of sound waves into action potentials occurs a. in the tectorial membrane as it is stimulated by hair cells. b. when hair cells are bent against the tectorial membrane, causing them to depolarize and release neurotransmitter that stimulates sensory neurons. c. as the basilar membrane vibrates at different frequencies in response to the varying volume of sounds. d. within the middle ear as the vibrations are amplified by the malleus, incus, and stapes.
