Question

Which is a feature of a tonic receptor? Select one: a. The action potential occurs when there is a change in response to a change in condition. b. For this receptor, the stimulus begins with a burst of action potentials. c. They are normally inactive. d. When the stimulus changes the action potential generation changes. e. Provides information about the rate and change of the stimulus. f. The action potential is generated for a short time period.

Answer 1

Answer:

For this receptor, the stimulus begins with an explosion of action potentials.

that would be the correct option.

Explanation:

A tonic receptor is one that is activated when the action potentials were maintained over time and during the signaling of the receptor.

Tone receptors require continuous stimulation over a period of time to trigger a response and deliver it to the central nervous system.

It keeps the nervous system constantly active in the environment that surrounds it.

They are slowly adaptable, an example of these receptors are the merkel and ruffini receptors.
