The mechanosensitive dendrite in the wall of the spine leads through the spine lumen to a cell body, and then to an axon that proceeds proximally along the femur.

Tactile spines are large cuticular sense organs that appear to provide insects with a sense of touch which is spatially coarse but of great sensitivity. The femoral tactile spine of the cockroach is innervated by a single sensory neuron with its cell body in the spine. We do not retain these email addresses.

The Action Potential: from inside and out . Bacteria use this method. Step movements of the spine produce rapidly adapting bursts of action potentials that decay to 0 in 1 s. Previous work has shown that a large part of this adaptation occurs during action potential encoding. Although action potential discharge in this receptor adapts rapidly, there was no evidence of adaptation in the receptor potential.

Sign In to Email Alerts with your Email Address, The receptor potential and adaptation in the cockroach tactile spine. An action potential is generated when a stimulus causes the interior to become more positive and reach its threshold potential. 3). This can be related to the mechanical linkage from the socket of the spine to the sensory ending. A brain is a network (friendship) of neurons. Additionally, the all-or-none nature of the action What are the 2 factors that influence the amplitude of extracellular action potentials? 0000032936 00000 n
It gave a power law relationship which was exactly the inverse of the frequency response of the receptor during strong stimulation and rapid firing. This suggests that adaptation of the sensory discharge in this receptor is produced by the action potential encoding mechanism. When a tactile spine of the cockroach femur is mechanically stimulated, an action potential is generated and travels down neuron that is connected to the base of the spine. ! 0000121128 00000 n
In cockroaches, the action potential starts. The receptor potential in the cockroach tactile spine was measured during mechanotransduction by recording from the afferent axon about 0.5 mm from the sensory ending. 0000002298 00000 n
The frequency response for mechanotransduction was flat over a frequency range of 0.1 to 100 Hz, after accounting for the cable properties of the axon, and there was no evidence of adaptation. The all-or-none characteristic of the action potential is fundamental to way that neurons distribute information throughout the nervous system.
