Q

Factors that produce repolarization

A

1: voltage gated sodium channels inactivate very quickly after opening. Remain inactivated until resting membrane potential reached2: Voltage gated potassi channels open slowly and potassium goes OUT towards gradient and makes it more negative insideIt overshoots to about -90 mV then closes3. Potassium leak channels and sodium/potassium ATPase continue to function to bring back to -70 (would repolarize membrane alone but takes too long)

Q

A

Auditory cortex in the temporal lobe

259
Q

If a sensory neuron leading from the ear to the brain fires an action potential more rapidly, how will the brain perceive this change

A

More rapid firing of a cochlear neuron indicates an increase in VOLUME of sound. If the pitch changed, a different set of neurons would fire action potentials.

260
Q

In some cases of deafness, sound can still be detected by conduction of vibration through the skull to the cochlea. If the auditory nerve is severed, can sound still be detected by conductance through bone?

A

Conductance through bone allows some hearing by causing the cochlea to vibrate, which stimulates action potentials that pass through the auditory nerve to the brain. However, if the auditory nerve is severed, no hearing of any kind is possible.

261
Q

“ If the bones of the middle ear are unable to move, would this impair the detection of sound by conductance through bone?”

A

The bones of the middle ear serve to conduct vibration from the outer ear to the liquid within the cochlea but are not involved directly in detecting sound. Bone conductance can still stimulate the cochlea and result in hearing if the middle ear is nonfunctional.
