Does strong stimuli cause the strength of action potentials to increase?
No, it doesn't become "larger" - the peak potential is always the same - it is a digital signal. Stronger stimulus will cause the nerve cell to fire more often - therefore stimulus strength is translated as action potential frequency.
Why does the polarity of a cell membrane reverse during an action potential?
During an action potential the neuron receives a stimulus causing the cell membrane to become more permeable to sodium than potassium, calling the polarity to change.
Does the neuron respond to all impulses?
Yes a neuron will always respond to the binding of neurotransmitters released from another cell (synaptic transmission being the 'impulse'). Depending on which neurotransmitter was bound, the postsynaptic potential of the membrane will become either more positive or more negative. It is the summation of these inputs and membrane potentials that determine whether the cell will subsequently fire an action potential.

Do action potentials become weaker with distance?
action potentials are non-decremental and do not get weaker with distance.
How does a neutral stimulus become a conditioned stimulus?
What did Ivan Pavlov discover with reguard to the digestive process of dogs?
When paired with an unconditional stimulus, a neutral stimulus can become a conditioned stimulus and produce the same response as the unconditioned stimulus.

During an action potential the neuron receives a stimulus causing the cell membrane to become more permeable to sodium than potassium, calling the polarity to change.
How do you become a stronger runner?
The best way to become a stronger runner is to NOT use weights ankle weights! instead try these and practise them 3-5 times a week for about 10 mins: - running suicides (running from the main line to another, than back and to a farther line) - stairs (running up and down stairs) I know it may sound strange but it helps for jumping action and running action - start by sprints (this helps the legs become more powerful when in running faster) DRINK MILK FOR STRONGER AND HEALTHER BONES!!!
What is habituation in infant?
The best way that I can explain this to you is if you hold up a blue card (stimulus) to an infant, at first they may become interested. After continuous exposure to that card they become uninterested in it anymore (habituated). So in the technical terms after continuous exposure to a stimulus it is common for an infant even adults to become habituated to that stimulus.

Habituation
Does a theory become stronger or weaker the more it is modified to count for experimental evidence?
stronger
Why are action potentials usually conducted in only one direction?
By only being conducted in one direction, action potentials allow for fast, direct communication between brain and the peripheral tissues. A good analogy for the one-way function of action potentials is the idea of a one way street. When a car drives the wrong way on a one-way street, the normal drivers are confused, and things can go wrong very easily. For a physiological answer to your question, the ion channels in the axon behind an action potential that just passed have become hyperpolarized compared to their resting state. This means they are not as sensitive as normal to any given electrical impulse (ie. action potential). Because of this, the action potential won't go back towards the direction it came from, because the channels that would have to be opened to allow this are very hard (temporarily) to re-open. The electrical energy of the impulse will favor going in the forward direction instead of going back, because going forward it does not have to overcome such hyperpolarized ion channels, and instead can move forward with relatively little resistance.
