Predict Question:
Predict Question: How will the action potential at R1 (or R2) change as you continue to increase the stimulus voltage? Your answer :
b. The peak value of the action potential will increase.
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.

2. If a graded receptor potential made the resting membrane potential of the axon more negative (for example, -70 mV changes to
-75 mV), you would expect
You correctly answered: d. it to be more difficult for this axon to reach the threshold voltage.
3. Failure to reach the threshold voltage in the axon of a sensory neuron could be caused by You
correctly answered: d. all of the above.

Review Sheet Results
1. Define the term threshold as it applies to an action potential. Your
answer:
potensial aksi hanya dapat terjadi ketika potensial mencapai ambang batas
2. What change in membrane potential (depolarization or hyperpolarization) triggers an action potential? Your
answer:
Depolarisasi adalah pemicu potensial aksi
3. How did the action potential at R1 (or R2) change as you increased the stimulus voltage above the threshold voltage? How well
did the results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
potensi aksi tidak berubah saat tegangan stimulus meningkat. ambang batas satu satunya titik dan potensial aksi ditetapkan setiap kalli
terjadi
4. An action potential is an "all-or-nothing" event. Explain what is meant by this phrase Your
answer:
ketika otu terjadi, nilai potensial nya sama karena hanya ada dua cara yaitu terjadi atau tidak
