Question 1

◦ higher in amplitude and longer-lasting.
◦ higher in amplitude and more frequent.
◦ longer-lasting only.
◦ higher in amplitude only.
Question 2
All of the following must occur before a second action potential can begin, EXCEPT
◦ the Na
+ inactivation gate must open and the Na
+ activation gate must close.
◦ the Na
+ and K
+ ions that moved in/out of the cell must move back to their original compartments.
◦ the Na
+ and K
+ ions that moved in/out of the cell must move back to their original compartments; the Na
+ inactivation gate must open; and the Na
+ activation gate must close.
◦ the absolute refractory period must occur.
◦ None of the answers are correct.
