Do action potentials always have the same amplitude and the same duration?

Yes, this is due to the all or nothing law that neurons follow:
"an excitable membrane either responds to a stimulus with a maximal action potential that spreads nondecrementally throughout the membrane, or it does not respond with an action potential at all."

Lil Wayne did not sell crack?
It's always hard to prove that a person positively did not do a certain action ever.
Which modulation your radio stations are using now?
Hi, Same as always. AM (amplitude modulation). FM (frequency modulation) and some FM's are now adding a digital component to their signal at the sacrifice of some transmitted volume. Hope that helps, Cubby
Can Music never comes first in film it is always planned composed and added to the soundtrack after the action has been filmed?
Apart from mamma mia :)
What is Christian Action?
In a general sense this could include anything which has 'Christian' characteristics such as kindness and charity and love behind it. In a more specific sense it would be something which Christ has specifically directed a person to do, which will vary with the circumstances, but will always be done in a Christ-like manner and with a Christ-like attitude. Nothing which Christ has forbidden in His word could ever come under the category of Christian action.
What are the lyrics to Always sung by butterfly effect?
Always I can feel you.. against my skin, I feel you... Like the poison seeping into Into my veins, numb with the pain Sick and guilty Is the sadness you've given to me... I can feel you... Always... I will learn too late It's too late, to change it Is too late, Still these strange frustration stains Burn my skin when nobody needs me... This sadness, forced to feel Like poison, I'll never heal I will learn too late It's too late, to change it Is too late.. Still these strange frustration stains Burn my skin when nobody needs me... It's always, you're always I'm always and I I need you always, I need you always It's always, you're always, I'm always and I I'm always, Always... Always... I am with you always [x4] Always.. Always.. Always..
Given that action potentials traveling down the axon of a particular neuron are always the same amplitude how is a stronger stimulus communicated to the next cell in the neural pathway?
The strength of a stimulus is coded in the frequency of action potentials, not in the amplitude.
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.
T or f When you touch something hot your nerves produce larger action potentials than if you touch something warm?
False. Neurons always fire the same amount.
Do rate and amplitude always change together in a frog heart?
Does the amplitude of the heart and heart rate always change together
When a sound wave is diffracted is the amplitude always reduced?
No. A wave travelling in the opposite direction would have its amplitude increased.
