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?

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.

About 60% of newborn infants in the United States are jaundiced; that is, they look yellow. Kernicterus is a form of brain damage caused by excessive jaundice. When babies begin to be affected by excessive jaundice and begin to have brain damage, they become excessively lethargic.

Did you know?

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.
