1. Why is the resting membrane potential the same value in both the sensory neuron and the interneuron?
The resting membrane potential is the same value because this is the typical resting membrane potential regardless of the type of neuron.
2. Describe what happened when you applied a very weak stimulus to the sensory receptor?
When you applied a very weak stimulus to the sensory receptor, a small, depolarizing response occured at R1, and no responses occured at R2, R3, and R4.
3. Describe what happened when you applied a moderate stimulus was to the sensory receptor.
When you applied a moderate stimulus a larger, depolarizing response occured at R1, and an action potential was generated at R2 and R4.
4. Identify the type of membrane potential (graded receptor potential or action potential) that occurred at R1, R2, R3, and R4 when you applied a moderate stimulus.
Action potentials occured at R2 and R4, and graded receptor potentials occured at R1 and R3.
5.Describe what happened when you applied a strong stimulus to the sensory receptor?
When you applied a strong stimulus to the sensory receptor, a large, depolarizing response occured at R1 and R3, and action potentials occured at R2 and R4.
