The all-or-none principle states that
 A) all stimuli will produce identical action potentials.
  B) all stimuli great enough to bring the membrane to threshold will produce identical action potentials.
  C) the greater the magnitude of the stimuli, the greater the magnitude of the action potential.
  D) only sensory stimuli can activate action potentials.
  E) only motor stimuli can activate action potentials.

Question 2

The following are the main steps in the generation of an action potential. 1. Sodium channels are inactivated. 2. Voltage-gated potassium channels open and potassium moves out of the cell, initiating repolarization. 3. Sodium channels regain their normal properties. 4. A graded depolarization brings an area of an excitable membrane to threshold. 5. A temporary hyperpolarization occurs. 6. Sodium channel activation occurs. 7. Sodium ions enter the cell and depolarization occurs. What is the proper sequence of these events?
 A) 4, 6, 7, 3, 2, 5, 1
  B) 4, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5
  C) 6, 7, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5
  D) 2, 4, 6, 7, 1, 3, 5
  E) 4, 2, 5, 6, 7, 3, 1

Did you know?

As the western states of America were settled, pioneers often had to drink rancid water from ponds and other sources. This often resulted in chronic diarrhea, causing many cases of dehydration and death that could have been avoided if clean water had been available.

Did you know?

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

More than nineteen million Americans carry the factor V gene that causes blood clots, pulmonary embolism, and heart disease.

The newest statin drug, rosuvastatin, has been called a superstatin because it appears to reduce LDL cholesterol to a greater degree than the other approved statin drugs.
