Receptor & Types |
Specialised nerve ending stimulated by the different types of stimulus Mechanoreceptor - free nerve ending, Meisser corpuscles Nociceptors - free nerve ending Thermoreceptors - end bulb of Krause , end organ of Ruffini Chemoreceptors - receptor of taste and smell Electromagnetic receptor - rods and cones |
D/f type of stimuli |
|
Action potential |
✓ a rapid change in the membrane potential followed by returning back to resting membrane potential ✓ non propagatory , non graded ✓ Follows all or none law ✓ it has a refractory period ✓ increase in the intensity of stimulus increase the AP ✓ when RP reached the threshold, AP produced |
|
|
Receptor potential |
When a receptor is adequately stimulated, non propagatory, depolarising potential is developed ✓ Non propa, graded ✓ don't follow all or none law ✓ no refractory period ✓ RP doesn't depend on AP ✓increase in the intensity of stimulus increase the magnitude of RP |
