What is the electrode measuring?
The leech's reaction to the different stimuli.
Why use leeches in neurophsiology experiments?
Because the neurons are a larger size and in a small number
What is the difference between sensory and motor neuron?
Sensory neuron is a nerve cell that conducts impulses from a organ to the central nervous system.
Motor neuron is a nerve cell that conducts impulses to a effector.
Do you think leeches experience pain?
I think if this were done with out anesthetizing the leech there would be pain because of the nervous system and the way it would react to something slicing it apart.
What are the two most interesting things about this lab?
I think it is amazing that on a real level you can see the reactions of a cell. Also injecting the dye for the UV readings is very interesting!
