D333 Lab Report Sensory Transduction Sensory Transduction:
Learn why you feel pain when you get hit by a rock
This lab report is for you to reflect on what you completed and learned in this simulation, and to practice your
written scientific communication skills. Include enough detail to clearly describe the lab experience to
someone who understands the concepts but has not participated in the simulation. Use correct scientific
terminology whenever applicable.

3. Summarize the steps taken in the simulation
4. Explain any obtained results
5. Discuss the conclusions and implications
1. Describe the overall objective and make a hypothesis.
What is the overall purpose of the experiments or activities? Make a hypothesis. Recall that the hypothesis is a claim
that answers a question or makes a prediction about an event that has not yet occurred.
Hint: The purpose is often stated in the welcome message of the simulation (as shown in the
, For your entry make sure to include the following:
● Include one statement that describes the overall objective in your own words.
● Include one statement that describes the hypothesis.
Objective:
The objective of this experiment is to study sensory transduction by testing the influence of different anesthetic
drugs on the perception of pain. This is done by monitoring changes in neuronal membrane potential, sodium
channel function, and pain reflex response in a living organism.
Hypothesis:
If Rebine and Lidocaine do affect sodium channel activity differently, then Lidocaine will be effective in blocking
sodium channels and reducing pain perception, but Rebine will only work with an existing open channel. So,
Lidocaine should yield reduced pain reflex time, while Rebine by itself may have no appreciable effect on pain
perception.
