Question 1 B

Q) I just had a question on part "B" on number 1. In our notes it says that a larger stimulus will create a higher frequency of action potentials, which is what I was going to base my answer off of, but what is considered a large stimulus? How do you know if something is a large stimulus?


A) The strength of the stimulus is not important for this question. 

You just need to know if it will be easier or harder for this cell to reach its threshold voltage to generate an action potential. 

Does the change in K+ concentration in the ECF move the cells potential towards or away from its threshold voltage?
