Local Potentials: Ligand regulated, may be depolarizing or hyperpolarizing, reversible, local, decremental

Action Potentials: Voltage regulated, begins with depolarization, irreversible, self-propagating, nondecremental.

How did the threshold for second action potential change as you further decrease the interval between the stimuli?

One might find how the threshold will change by inquiring the mind of a scientist at ones local college. Another way to find the answer to this question would be to research it in books at ones local library.

Action potential

What are the events that must occur to generate action potential?

Local polarization is the first step. Next the generation and propagation of an action potential. Lastly repolarization has to take place.


Dendrites conduct both graded and action potential?

Dendrites primarily conduct graded potentials, which are local changes in membrane potential. These graded potentials can accumulate and trigger an action potential in the axon hillock if they reach a certain threshold. Action potentials are then conducted along the axon.


What is difference between local government and local self government?

The difference between local government and local self government is that local government has a more limited scope of power. Local self government is able to make more decisions.


Are action potential and local potential reversible?

Under normal circumstances action potential will proceed unilaterally. An action potential cannot proceed down an axon and depolarize in the reverse direction on the same axon. It must carry information on one axon in one direction and then on another axon in a separate direction. In a lab you can depolarize neurons in the middle of an axon and it will depolarize bilaterally.


Where do most local potentials happen?

Local potentials typically occur in the dendrites and cell body of a neuron. They involve small changes in membrane potential that do not reach the threshold for generating an action potential. These local changes in potential allow for signal integration and processing in the neuron.
