Increasing the stimulus voltage in the simulation affect action potential mainly because increasing the current will automatically increase the voltage.

Why is the amplitude of the compound action potential recorded from the frog sciatic nerve increased when the voltage of the stimulus was increased above the threshold value?

when the voltage of the stimulus is increased above threshold, it can instantly trigger the action potential into a depolarizing state which will rapidly shoot up above the threshold value.


Can rheobase be a threshold stimulus?

Yes, it can be because threshold and rheobase both are the voltage required to generate an action potential. The difference lies in that the treshold can be a voltage higher than rheobase.


Is an action potential fired in response to any nerve stimulus?

No, there must be a sufficient voltage summed up from all the inputs to be at or above the trigger voltage. Usually a single input is not sufficient.


What is ramp voltage?

Ramp voltage is a voltage that can be steadily increasing or decreasing.


What does it take to trigger an action potential?

neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron must be released and binded to the ligand gated sodium channels to increase the membrane potential (increase the charge) until it reaches the threshold of the trigger zone which is -55 millivolts.


What is the potential voltage?

Unless you are using 'potential' in the general sense (i.e. "What is the possible voltage?"), there is no such engineering term as 'potential voltage'. Voltage is a synonym for 'potential difference', so your expression would then mean "What is the potential potential difference?"Do not mix up 'potential' with 'potential difference' (voltage); they are two different things.


What is the relationship between amplitude of muscle response and voltage of stimulus applied?

The relationship between the amplitude of muscle response and the voltage of the stimulus is generally linear. As the voltage of the stimulus increases, the muscle response increases in amplitude up to a certain point. Beyond that point, further increases in voltage may not significantly increase the muscle response amplitude or could lead to muscle fatigue or damage.


Why is voltage considered to be the electric potential?

Voltage is just the name. Electric potential is a synonym. These are just customary terms, without any deeper reference.AnswerNo, voltage is synonymous with 'potential difference', not potential.


What is the lowest stimulus voltage that induces active force in the skeletal muscle?

It is called the threshold voltage and is around -70 mvolts.


Are potential difference and voltage always the same?

Voltage is simply another word for potential difference.


What are the differences between voltage and potential difference?

Voltage is the potential difference to the ground. By convention, ground potential is zero volt.The above answer is incorrect. 'Voltage', by definition, is potential difference. It has nothing to do with being measured with respect to ground -in fact potential difference (voltage) cannot be measured with respect to anything.


Does the duration of the latent period change with different stimulus voltage?

No sorry :(
