The quantity of neurotransmitter that is released by a hair cell within the cochlea into the synapse with a sensory neuron will: 1) increase in response to any mechanical stimulation of the hair cell. 2) increase when the stereocilia of the hair cell are bent away from the tallest stereocilium. 3) increase when the stereocilia of the hair cell are bent towards the tallest stereocilium.

With reference to the above diagram, bipolar cell 1' depolarizes (as shown) in response to stimulation of rod cell 1 with a small spot of light. Stimulation of rod 2, on the other hand, results in hyperpolarization of bipolar cell 1'. Photic stimulation of photoreceptor 2 would have what effect on the release of neurotransmitter by photoreceptor 1? Decrease Increase No change
