What happens when potassium ions continue to enter into the neuron after generation of an action potential?

Biology
1 answer:
nadya68 [22]2 years ago
5 0
As the action potential passes through, potassium channels stay open a little bit longer, and continue to let positive ions exit the neuron. This means that the cell temporarily hyperpolarizes, or gets even more negative than its resting state.

The stimulation of an inadequate number of sodium channels for the generation of a positive sodium channel feedback loop is cons
diamong [38]

Answer:

Sub-threshold

Explanation:

If the stimulus is too small to generate the action potential, it is considered as subthreshold stimulus. Subthreshold stimulus causes the opening of small number of sodium channel i.e. not enough to generate action potential because action potential is generated by complete reversal of membrane polarity. Slight depolarization is caused by subthreshold stimulus by the opening of inadequate number of sodium channel but its magnitude is not enough to reach the threshold voltage. Consequently the action potential is not generated.

The response produced by subthreshold stimulus is called as local response or local depolarization because it could not travel further. The minimum stimulus required to generate the action potential is call as threshold stimulus and stimulus greater than threshold stimulus is called as suprathreshold stimulus. It changes the frequency of generated action potential.

With what kinds of bacteria did Griffith inject mice
Aneli [31]
<span>The S strain of bacteria that Griffith used was virulent meaning that when injected into the mouse, the mouse would die from pneumonia The R strain was nonvirulent and did not result in the death of the mouse. When Griffith injected mice with a dead S strain of pneumatic bacteria the mice remained healthy.

I hope this helps!
