1. Lateral inhibition C. Inhibiting adjacent neurons to aid in stimulus localisation. 2. Nociceptors G. Free nerve endings specialized in detecting painful stimuli. 3. Meissner's corpuscles. F. Rapidly adapting receptors signal stumili change. 4. EPSP J. Postsynaptic membrane potential following Na+ influx. 5. IPSP B. PpstsPostsyn membrane potential becomes more negative. 6. Ruffini's endings E. Transmitts deep touch and pressure. 7. Receptor potential D. Sensory stimuli excites receptor to alter membrane potential. 8. Tonic receptors I. Slowly adapting receptors signal continual stimuli presence. 9. Phasic receptors A. Rapidly adapting touch receptors with high sensitivity. 10. Merkel's discs H. Specialize in transmitting initial contact and continual contact. 11. Electrical synapse L. Consist of gap junctions. 12. Sensory transduction K. Sensory stimulus translated into an electrical signal.
