...It has been confirmed that a phenomenon equivalent to this already occurs in receptor potentials (or triggering potentials) (Figure 2). Receptors that adapt quickly are called "quickly adapting" (abbreviated as QA), and those that adapt slowly are called "slowly adapting" (abbreviated as SA). This indicates that the adaptation phenomenon seen in the senses is already occurring in the receptors (of course, there are parts of sensory adaptation that cannot be explained solely by receptor adaptation). ...
