Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An action potential begins when the cell membrane of the excitable cell is exposed to a depolar-izing current and eventually reaches its excitation threshold potential. The initial phase of this type of action potential consists of a rapid upstroke or depolarization. This change in membrane potential to a more positive value occurs because of a rapid influx of sodium ions into the cell.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Anatomic dead space has no CO2; the mixed expired CO2 (FECO2) = 0 during that phase.
