2. What is meant by sensory transduction and how are ions and membrane potentials involved? 3. How can the brain interpret action potentials from different stimuli into meaningful integration? In other words how does the brain distinguish between different touch signals (gentle vs greater pressure)? 4. If all stimuli reach the brain by action potentials, how then can we distinguish one stimulus to another? In other words, how can we distinguish between sight, sounds and smell? 5. What are the two ways a transduction can be modified? Give a specific example of both. 6. Describe how action potentials are initiated by mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors. Give an example for both.
