For each of the following changes to the Action Potential propose one possible mechanism (and explain why):
Repetitive firing
Increased threshold
Increased refractory time
Increased AP amplitude
ANSWER:
The electrical potential associated passage of impulse along membrane of muscle cell (or) never cell there action potential neutron sends information down an axon cell body.there neuroscientists use a words spike (or) impulse.
For each of the following changes to the Action Potential propose one possible mechanism (and explain...
QUESTION 35 Which of the following is NOT true regarding the propagation of action potentials O A. All of these statements are true B. The magnitude of the action potential stays the same as it travels down the axon. C. Voltage-gated Na+ channels open only when the threshold potential is reached. OD. Each segment of the axon prevents the adjacent segments from firing, E. The refractory period allows the impulse to travel in only one direction OF. None of these...
Cell # 1 forms an excitatory synapse onto cell # 2 , when cell #1 fires a single action potential it releases glutamate onto the membrane of cell #2 resulting in a 5 millivolt depolarization, a 5 mV excitatory postsynaptic potential, when cell #1 fires three action potentials in rapid succession this causes a 15 mV depolarization in cell #2 resulting in cell #2 reaching threshold and firing its own action potential. Cell #1 Cell #2 +40 Vm IN Cell...

Use what you know about the physiology of neurons to answer the following questions. Treat each of these questions as unrelated to each other. a. Imagine that a mutation makes Na* leak channels just as common as K' leak channels. Explain the effect of this mutation on the resting potential of this neuron. 3. b. The intracellular:extracellular ratio of K' ions is normally 150:4mM. Imagine that you decrease that ratio to 150: 20mM. Describe the subsequent effect on the resting...
