Briefly Describe the Difference Between Tonic and Phasic Receptors, and Illustrate

Essay

Briefly describe the difference between tonic and phasic receptors, and illustrate this difference by sketching graphs showing any type of stimulus (as a rectangular wave), the receptor potentials generated by each type of receptor, and the resulting action potentials in the neurons that respond to each type of receptor.You do not need to put numbers on your axes; rather you are to demonstrate you understand the relative differences in the responses.
