Consider the following statements regarding the electrical response of the afferent nerve terminal in a Pacinian corpuscle (PC) after applying different grades of pressure: A. A non-propagated depolarizing potential (receptor potential) is elicited when a small magnitude of pressure is applied to PC. B. The magnitude of the receptor potential increases as the pressure applied to PC increases. C. An action potential is generated when the receptor potential attains a critical threshold value. D. The receptor potential shows an all-or-none response. E. The receptor potential is not a graded potential. Choose the option containing both INCORRECT statements:
