Ooh. That's quite a question. Similarities?? I mean, many differences come to mind instantly. Like, organ of corti is for pressure transduction ; olfactory is for chemo-transduction. (Let me just think about differences. This i am just replying instantly.)
Sir wonderful explanation Please tell me how when we are down or suddenly the car stops the backward bending of cilia which will close the k channels leading to hyperpolarization then how that information is carried as there will be not action potential generated ie the information will not be carried as per this please explain.
Information processing by the brain/higher centers does not necessarily require APs generated (newly) from some peripheral source and reaching cortex. Even when head is still, the APs do originate from hair cells and reach higher centers and cortex. This detects the orientation of head, when head is still. Change in this signal, in the form of hyperpolarization of hair cells, and decreased frequency of APs is processed by the cortex as the change in the orientation of head. Same principle also applies to rods in the retina. When light strikes retina, rods are hyperpolarized and AP frequency in optic nerve decreases, which is sensed as the light sensation.
@@physiologyconceptsbydrsabi9170 yes. Correct. We generally believe that the APs carry the information. That’s partly correct. However, increased or decreased AP frequencies, and the processing of this by higher centers is of critical importance.
