    The document summarizes the results of a neurophysiology experiment on the action potential threshold in nerve fibers. It shows that [1] increasing the stimulus voltage above 10mV caused action potentials to be recorded by electrodes R1 and R2, [2] the peak value at both electrodes remained at 100μV as the stimulus increased further, and [3] the action potential was delayed at R2, as it had to propagate from R1. The participant correctly answered related questions about action potential propagation and the effect of increased extracellular potassium.

    Experiment Results
    Predict Question:
    Predict Question: How will the action potential at R1 (or R2) change as you continue to increase the stimulus voltage?
    Your answer : a. The duration of the action potential will decrease.

    Stop & Think Questions:


    Why is the action potential recorded by the second recording electrode (R2) delayed relative to the action potential recorded
    by the first recording electrode (R1)?
    You correctly answered: c. The action potential had to propagate from R1 to R2.

    An increase in extracellular K+ would depolarize a neuron. This depolarization would occur if neurons were damaged. From
    what you have just learned about generating an action potential, what effect would this have on nearby axons? The nearby
    axonal membranes will ___________.
    You correctly answered: b. be depolarized to values near or above threshold voltages.
