With Respect to Its Resonant Frequency (220 Hz), Why Would

question 42

Multiple Choice

With respect to its resonant frequency (220 Hz) , why would the lower frequency (70 Hz) result in greater hyperpolarization (more inhibition) of outer hair cells?

• A) Inhibition of neighboring outer hair cells contributes to the increased inhibition.
• B) Lower tones (frequencies) are more difficult to detect, requiring a greater difference in membrane potential.
• C) At lower frequencies, electromotility is inhibited.
• D) Elongated outer hair cells mean that the greater membrane surface area exposes more cholinergic receptors.
• E) Inner hair cells are inhibited through increased potassium conductance, driven by the Nernst equilibrium potential for potassium.
