The most rapid action potentials are conducted on?
thick, myelinated axons.
What are the electrical events conducted along the cell plasma membrane that stimulate contraction?
Action potentials
How did the action potential generated with the unheated rod compare to the generated with the heated rod?
Heat information is conducted through neurones. Higher frequency action potentials are perceived in the brain as a hotter stimulus. So the heated rod would have sent higher-frequency action potentials than the cool rod would have.
How does an action potential differ from a graded potential?
Action potentials also known as spikes, differ from graded potentials in that they do not diminish in strength as they travel through the neuron.
Where do most action potentials originate?
initial segment
What are the most rapid action potentials conducted on?
thick myelinated axons
The most rapid action potentials are conducted on?
thick, myelinated axons.
Action potentials are conducted into a skeletal muscle fiber by?
C. neuromuscular junctions
Nerve impulses are conducted along an axon without decrement This means the action potentials are conducted without?
decreasing amplitude
What are the electrical events conducted along the cell plasma membrane that stimulate contraction?
Action potentials
The action potential is conducted into a skeletal muscle fiber by?
neuromuscular junctions Action potentials conduct down T tubules into skeletal muscles
How did the action potential generated with the unheated rod compare to the generated with the heated rod?
Heat information is conducted through neurones. Higher frequency action potentials are perceived in the brain as a hotter stimulus. So the heated rod would have sent higher-frequency action potentials than the cool rod would have.
Do action potentials become weaker with distance?
action potentials are non-decremental and do not get weaker with distance.
What is the Difference between a weak stimulus and intense stimulus?
The FREQUENCY of action potentials that are conducted into the central nervous system serves as the code for the strength of the stimulus. This frequency code is needed because the amplitude of action potentials is constatnt (all or none). Acting through changes in action potential frequency, tonic receptors thus provide information about the relative intensity of a stimulus.
What do intercalated discs transfer from cell to cell?
action potentials, ionic currents, the force of contraction and ionic currents and action potentials only
How does an action potential differ from a graded potential?
Action potentials also known as spikes, differ from graded potentials in that they do not diminish in strength as they travel through the neuron.
Communication in the nervous system depends on?
action potentials
