Lateral inhibition occurs in most sensory systems. If a large area of the sensory periphery were stimulated in such a system (le

t’s say the somatosensory system: this means a large area of the skin were stimulated), a) how would the rate of firing from a mechanoreceptor in the middle of the area compare to the firing of the same mechanoreceptor if a small spot in the middle of the area were stimulated? (Assume the small spot was large enough to just fill the center of the cell's receptive field.) b) Same scenario as in part (a) but now compare the firing rate of a second order sensory neuron (take into account lateral inhibition).

What is the relationship between ligaments, bones and joints?​
kakasveta [241]

Ligaments connect one bone to another bone. Therefore, they allow a joint to form, because joints are where two or more bones connect.

Take your knee joint for instance (***see attached pic***). The knee joint is formed by the connection of the femur (your thigh bone), the tibia (your shin bone), and the fibula (the other long bone in your lower leg). In order for all of these bones to connect there are many ligaments in the knee joint that keep the bones connected and in place.  A well known example of one of these ligaments in the knee joint is the ACL (anterior crucate ligament), which is commonly torn in sports, namely football. Most people have heard of this ligament because it receives a lot of media attention since tearing it can greatly alter or even end professional athletes' careers.
