Put the events of an action potential in the correct order.

• Repolarization

• Refractory period

• Stimulus

• Depolarization

In resting state the membrane potential is ​ (a)   70. When a stimulus is strong enough, an action potential is generated. First ​ (b)   channels open. As this is a​ (c)   ion, the membrane potential ​ (d)   . The efflux of ​ (e)   ions brings the potential back.

• negative
• Sodium
• positive
• increases
• Potassium
• Chloride
• decreases

Match the stimulus with the receptor

• Pressure detection

• Baroreceptors

• Temperature detection

• Mechanoreceptors

• Smell and taste detection

• Chemoreceptors

• Pain detection

• Nociceptors

• Pressure and vibration detection

• Thermoreceptors

Identify the parts of the central nervous system.
