When a sensory neuron is excited by some of energy the resulting graded potential is called?
Receptor potential or generator potential.
When a sensory neuron is excited by some form of energy the resulting graded potential is called?
receptor or generator potential
What is the density of graded stone?
it depends ma cuzzie bro dahaha
What does the B means on a pencil?
Many pencils across the world and almost all in Europe are graded on the European system using a continuüm from "H" (for hardness) to "B" (for blackness), as well as "F" (for fine point). The standard writing pencil is graded HB.
Commonalities between 802.11 and 802.16 standards?
It is graded question so use your abalities to solve this question
Do graded potentials increase amplitude as they move away from the stimulus?
No, they actually decrease in amplitude as they move away from the stimulus point.
How does graded potential occur?
Graded potential occurs when triggered by a stimulus and gated ion channels open these gated channels can either be chemically gated or mechanically gated. In order to have graded potential threshold must be met in order to generate action potential. Good day!
WhatConversion of a stimulus into a generator potential is?
Receptor potential, a type of graded potential, is the transmembrane potential difference of a sensory receptor. A receptor potential is often produced by sensory transduction. It is generally a depolarizing event resulting from inward current flow. The influx of current will often bring the membrane potential of the sensory receptor towards the threshold for triggering an action potential. A receptor potential is a form of graded potential, as is a generator potential. It arises when the receptors of a stimulus are separate cells. An example of this is in a taste bud, where taste is converted into an electrical signal sent to the brain. When stimulated the taste bud triggers the release of neurotransmitter through exocytosis of synaptic vesicles from the presynaptic membrane. The neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic membrane. A postsynaptic potential is then produced in the first order neuron, and if the stimulus is strong enough to reach threshold this may generate an action potential which may propagate along the axon into the central nervous system
Dendrites conduct both graded and action potential?
no, dendrites and cell bodies can only have graded potential. action potential only occurs in axons
Is a postsynaptic potential a graded potential that is the result if a neurotransmitter released into the synapse between two neurons?
Yes it is true that graded potential can be called postsynaptic potentials. When a sensory neuron is excited by some form of energy, the resulting graded potential is called generator potential.
What is the difference between a compound action potential and a single action potential?
Single action potentials follow the "all or none" rule. That is, if a stimulus is strong enough to depolarize the membrane of the neuron to threshold (~55mV), then an action potential will be fired. Each stimulus that reaches threshold will produce an action potential that is equal in magnitude to every other action potential for the neuron. Compound action potentials do not exhibit this property since they are a bundle of neurons and have different magnitudes of AP's. Thus compound action potentials are graded. That is, the greater the stimulus, the greater the action potential.
What can occur when the effects of one graded potential are added onto the effects produced by another graded potential which can lead to an action potential.?
More sodium ions pile up (accumulate) at the axon hillock from the combination of the two (or more) graded potentials, which may be then be sufficient to initiate the action potential.

How does an action potential differ from a graded potential?
Action potentials also known as spikes, differ from graded potentials in that they do not diminish in strength as they travel through the neuron.
