5 Questions
What is the origin of the resting potential in a nerve fiber?
Hypopolarizations of increasing amplitudes
How is the resting potential maintained in a nerve fiber?
By always staying below the depolarization threshold
What is the nature of the nerve structure involved in the nerve impulse?
Nerve fiber
Where does the hypopolarization occur in relation to the depolarization threshold?
Always below the depolarization threshold
What happens when increasing stimulation is applied in the nerve fiber?
The amplitude of hypopolarizations increases
