Question
sensory impulses originate at receptors in response to
multiple choice
local changes in their cell membrane potentials
decreasing permeability of nerve cell membranes
subthreshold potential
neurotransmitters
Sensory receptors generate impulses when there are local changes in membrane potential due to stimuli. Decreasing permeability doesn't directly initiate impulses. Sub - threshold potential doesn't trigger an impulse. Neurotransmitters are involved in signal transfer between neurons, not the initial generation at receptors.
