A)tonic receptor
B)phasic receptor
C)specialized receptor ending of afferent neuron
D)separate cell serving as a receptor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The specialized receptor ending of an afferent neuron is responsible for generating action potentials in the afferent neuron by opening messenger-gated channels.

Answer: D
 A separate cell serving as a receptor is responsible for generating action potentials by opening messenger-gated channels. This type of receptor is common in sensory systems like vision and hearing.
