Would help equalize pressure across the cochlear partition

Would prevent low frequency sounds causing vibration more apically along the cochlea

Would affect our sensitivity to high frequency sounds but not affect to low frequency sounds 

Would affect our sensitivity to all sounds 

Would affect our sensitivity to high intensity sounds but not affect sensitivity to low intensity sounds 

activate more ion channels with different thresholds  and activate each receptor more strongly

activate each ion channel more strongly and activate more receptive fields of a neuron

activate each receptor more strongly and activate more neurons with different thresholds

activate each receptor more strongly and activate more neurons

activate each ion channel more strongly and each receptor more strongly

A & C above.

B & C above.

an increase in the size of the APs from a single receptor.

an increase in the number of active receptors.

an increase in the number of APs from a single receptor.

Have Na+ and K+ ion channels

Have a Resting membrane potential

Have accessory structures

Have second messengers

Have a Receptor or Generator Potential

adapts to a constant stimulus

is graded to the stimulus intensity

is conducted electrotonically

involves voltage-gated channels

has refractory periods

Do so to activate stretch-activated ion channels

Do so for the purposes of amplification of signal

Can respond quickly to stimulus input

Are the endings of nerve fibres

Are vision and hearing

Allows us to discriminate between different parts of the full stimulus range

Allows us to detect stimulus changes in adaptation very well

Allows us to detect stimulus intensity very well

Allows us to detect stimulus timing very well

Allows us to discriminate stimulus range, timing and level very well

Through chemically-gated ion channels

Is a depolarization of the RMP

Is a hyperpolarization of the RMP

Involves ion channels in the receptive zones of nerve fibres or receptor cells

Through mechanically-activated ion channels
