A neuron is receiving a stimulus which gets stronger and stronger. The result is
A) amplitude of the action potential increases.
B) duration of the action potential increases.
C) frequency of occurrence of action potentials increases.
D) resonance of action potentials increases.
E) height of the action potentials increases.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of occurrence of action potentials increases with stronger stimuli. The amplitude and height of action potentials are all-or-none responses and do not change with stimulus strength. The duration and resonance of action potentials also do not typically change with stimulus strength.
