Describe and illustrate the action potentials in a contractile
ventricular myocardial cell and a cardiac nodal cell. Show how the
ANS can affect the nodal cell action potential. Physiology
Describe how an action potential is propagated through an axon,
and how neurotransmitters are released in response to the action
potential reaching the synaptic terminal
Which of the following statements about action potentials is
true?
Action potentials trigger a reversal of the membrane polarity,
with the interior of the cell becoming positively charged.
Action potentials trigger reversal of the membrane polarity,
with the interior of the cell becoming negatively charged.
Action potentials trigger depolarization of the membrane by
opening potassium voltage-gated channels.
Action potentials lead to a sudden impermeability of the
membrane to the transport of ions.
Action potentials lead to a sudden rush of...
Explain how graded potentials and action potentials are
different. On which part of a neuron would you expect a
