Q

steps in phototransduction

A

light stimulus ->
absorption of photos leads to decrease in cGMP levels ->
closing of Na/Ca channels (gated by cGMP) ->
reduction of Na+/Ca+ influx ->
receptor hyperpolarization

Q

dark- photoreceptors membrane potential

A

~40mV

-due to Na+ and Ca2+ influx which acts to depolarize and K+ efflux which acts to hyperpolarize

A

glutamate receptors

22
Q

the connection between photoreceptor + bipolar cell is sign inverting/conserving for ON-center cell

A

inverting

23

26
Q

light- ON-center bipolar cell

A

hyperpolarize photoreceptor ->

light- OFF-center bipolar cell

A

hyperpolarize photoreceptor ->
reduce glutamate from photoreceptor ->
hyperpolarize OFF-center bipolar cell (sign conserving)

28
Q

dark- ON-center bipolar cell

A

depolarize photoreceptor ->
glutamate release from photoreceptor ->
hyperpolarize ON-center bipolar cell (sign inverting)

29
Q

dark- OFF-center bipolar cell

A

depolarize photoreceptor ->
glutamate release from photoreceptor ->
depolarize OFF-center bipolar cell (sign conserving)
