Solution

The correct answer is c. Only (iv) is correct.

Here's why:

i) An action potential actually occurs when the local potential reaches around -55mV, not -45mV. This is known as the threshold potential.

ii) The all-or-none rule states that an action potential either occurs fully or not at all, depending on whether the stimulus reaches the threshold. Therefore, an action potential does not disobey this rule.

iii) An action potential does not propagate with differing magnitudes. It maintains a consistent magnitude as it travels along the neuron.

iv) An action potential is indeed characterized by a series of

109. One reason that action potentials are all-or-none is that a. they are always the same size in a given neuron. b. axonal membranes do not allow partial electrical responses to electrical stimuli. c. they must travel long distances without decrement. *d. once the membrane potential is past threshold, the influx of Na+ keeps driving it more positive until the maximum number of Na+ channels is

Use the terms to correctly complete the sentences regarding the "all-or-none" principle.The principle refers to the creation of an potential along a muscle cell membrane.It states that an action potential will not be created until a critical level, or , is met.This level is the amount of that must occur along the plasma membrane prior to an action potential being created.Once this level is reached, changes in membrane occur, which lead to the creation of an action potential.The part refers to the identical action potentials created throughout a cell’s membrane; the indicates that an action potential is not generated if the threshold is not met.

108. The all-or-none principle of nerve action states that a. the entire length of the nerve conducts an action potential or no part does. *b. an action potential always reaches its maximum strength or it doesn't appear at all. c. all available ions contribute to the rise and fall of the action potential or none do. d. all synapses on a neuron must be active in order for them to excite it.
