Which of the sequence of events below best describes how hair cells (sterocilia) in the rabbit ear provide the brain with information about stimulus intensity?
A) Soft wind bends the hair,Na⁺ channels open leading to depolarization,low concentration of neurotransmitter released and low frequency of action potentials in afferent neuron to the brain.
B) Strong wind bends the hair,Na⁺ channels open leading to hyperpolarization,high concentration of neurotransmitter released and high frequency of action potentials in afferent neuron to the brain.
C) Soft wind bends the hair,K⁺ channels open leading to hyperpolarization of the membrane,low concentration of neurotransmitter released and low frequency of action potentials within the afferent neuron to the brain.
D) Strong wind bends the hair,K⁺ channels open leading to depolarization,high concentration of neurotransmitter released and high frequency of action potentials within the afferent neuron to the brain.
