Please read the metaphoric story below about \"The Wild Cats andthe Students.\" The story has eight metaphors about neuron membranepotentials. You will be asked to match each metaphoric term with anactual part of the neuron membrane or its potential. Each correctmetaphoric match (what do Wild cats symbolize? etc.),
\"The Wild Cats and the Students\" One day, a truck load of wildcats escaped from the circus. They congregated right outside of aclassroom. They wanted to join the students inside so they startedto jump at the closed windows. They jumped and jumped at thewindows to no avail because no one would open the windows. Thestudents didn’t want the wild cats inside the classroom. The circustruck came to collect the wild cats and drove up the service roadnext to the classroom building. In trying to make a U-turn, thedriver would back up into the building and bump it. The first bumpwas not too hard, but it bumped open the spring-loaded windows inour classroom a few inches wide. A couple of wild cats sprang intothe classroom, but the teacher was able to catch them and toss themout. Meanwhile, the truck driver was still trying to make a U-turnand was getting frustrated. He drove forward and then backward, andhit the building again, but this time a little harder. Thespring-loaded windows bumped open a little wider and a few morewild cats were able to jump inside. The teacher quickly capturedthem and threw them outside. Now, the truck driver was veryfrustrated and in his third attempt at a U-turn, he backed thetruck into the building very hard. This caused the windows toreally fly open so that several wild cats jumped into the classroombefore the windows snapped shut again. The students were very upsetbecause they really did not like being around the wild cats.Several of the students ran outside by opening the spring-loadeddoor. This was all very upsetting to the teacher because the classwas now in chaos. The teacher spent several seconds capturing thewild cats and throwing them outside, and then inviting the studentsto come back inside. Ah, once again, peace returned to theclassroom and we returned to our studies, trying to ignore the wildcats outside jumping at the windows again.
In this metaphor, what are/is the: Wild cats? Students? Theclassroom wall? The windows? The door? The truck hitting thebuilding? The peace returning to the classroom? The teacher?
