Where do most action potentials begin quizlet?
- an action potential arrives at the synaptic terminal.
- calcium channels open, and calcium ions enter the synaptic terminal.
- vesicles containing neurotransmitter fuse with the plasma membrane of the sending neuron.
- neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft.
Where do action potentials originate in the heart quizlet?
Terms in this set (14) Action potentials pass SLOW through AV node to give atria time to contract; located in the right atria wall just above the tricuspid valve. It mediates how fast impulses are transmitted to the ventricles. If the SA node fails, then the AV node will generate an impulse.
What event triggers the generation of an action potential quizlet?
What event triggers the generation of an action potential? The membrane potential must depolarize from the resting voltage of -70 mV to a threshold value of -55 mV. This is the minimum value required to open enough voltage-gated Na+ channels so that depolarization is irreversible.
What characterizes depolarization the first phase?
What characterizes depolarization, the first phase of the action potential? The membrane potential changes from a negative value to a positive value. The membrane potential must depolarize from the resting voltage of -70 mV to a threshold value of -55 mV.
Where do action potentials originate in the heart?
The cardiac action potential originates in specialized cells at the right atrium called the sinoatrial (SA) node, the natural pacemaker of the heart. The cells in the SA node are enriched in hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels.
What would happen if the action potential was kept from leaving the AV node?
Action potentials may spread from the pacemaker to myocardial cells through _____. What would happen if the action potential was kept from leaving the AV node? The ventricles will not contract in response to stimulation by the SA node. What was the cause of Harold’s complete AV block?
What event triggers the generation of an action potential?
What is the first event of action potential?
depolarization
First is depolarization, followed by repolarization and a short period of hyperpolarization. These three events happen over just a few milliseconds. Action potential: A.
What characterizes repolarization the second phase?
What characterizes repolarization, the second phase of action potential? Once the membrane depolarizes to a peak value of +30 mV, it repolarizes to its negative resting value of -70mV. -The membrane potential must depolarize from the resting voltage of -70mV to a threshold value of -55mV.
What are two factors that cause the movement of sodium and potassium ions?
- the charge of the ion.
- the size of the ion.
- how much water the ion attracts and holds around it.
Where do most action potentials originate in the brain?
Where do most action potentials originate? Initial segment What opens first in response to a threshold stimulus? Voltage-gated Na+ channels What characterizes depolarization, the first phase of the action potential? The membrane potential changes from a negative value to a positive value.

How does the myelin sheath affect action potential conduction?
The myelin sheath increases the speed of action potential conduction from the initial segment to the axon terminals. What changes occur to voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels at the peak of depolarization? Inactivation gates of voltage-gated Na+ channels close, while activation gates of voltage-gated K+ channels open.
Which is axon will velocity of action potential conduction be the fastest?
Inactivation gates of voltage-gated Na+ channels close, while activation gates of voltage-gated K+ channels open. In which type of axon will velocity of action potential conduction be the fastest?
