Stimulus A depolarizes a neuron just barely above the threshold. Stimulus B depolarizes a neuron to 10 mV beyond threshold. What can we expect to happen?
A) Stimulus B will produce an action potential that is conducted at a faster speed than A.
B) Stimulus B will produce an action potential of greater magnitude than stimulus A.
C) Stimulus B will produce an action potential but stimulus A will not.
D) Stimulus A and stimulus B will produce the same response in the neurons.
