The transduction of sound waves to action potentials takes place:
1. Within the tectorial membrane as it is stimulated by the hair cells.
2. When hair cells are bent against the tectorial membrane causing them to depolarize and release neurotransmitter molecule that stimulates sensory neurons.
3. As the basilar membrane becomes more permeable to sodium ions and depolarizes, initiating an action potential in sensory neurons.
4. Within the middle ear as the vibration is amplified by the malleus, incus, and stapes.
For the given diagram which labeling and function is
correctly matched/described?
1. (a) Fovea Rods are densely packed.
2. (b) Blindspot No image formed.
3. (c) Choroid Coloured part of the eye which regulates diameter of pupil.
4. (d) Ciliary body No role in accommodation

Which of the following statements is not correct?
1. | An action potential in an axon does not move backward because the segment behind is in a refractory phase. |
