Why are fewer action potentials recorded at R2 when TTX is aaplied between R1 and R2?
TTX will block the response at R1 but have no effect at R2
Why is numbness experienced after eating puffer fish?
TTX (the poison in pufferfish) inhibits neurons that transmit sensory information to the brain. Since TTX prevents the generation of action potentials in sensory nerves, the ability of the neurons to transmit sensory information will be inhibited. This loss of sensory information would be experienced as a "numbness" in areas exposed to the toxin.
How does the effect of lidocaine differ from the effect of TTX?
They both decrease action potential duration, but TTX is the only one that decreases the maximum rate of depolarization.
