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.
2. Depolarization of hair cells of cochlea results in the opening of the mechanically gated Potassium- ion channels.
3. Rods are very sensitive and contribute to daylight vision.
4. In the knee-jerk reflex, stimulus is the stretching of muscle and response is its contraction.

Mark the incorrectly matched pair regarding the structure with its location and functions:-

1. Otolith organs  Located in the utriculus and sacculus, and is related to static equilibrium
2. Organ of Corti  Located on the basilar membrane and contains hair cells that act as auditory receptors
3. Visual  cortex area Located on the temporal lobe where sight impulses are analyzed and the retinal image is recognised.
4. Ear ossicles   Located in the middle ear cavity and increase the efficiency of transmission of sound waves to the inner ear.

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.
