Mara Powers · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Action potential occurs as a result of a neuron sending information down an axon and away from the cell body. Action potential is also known as spike or impulse.

Action potential is independent of the strength of the stimulating input.

Scarlet · Answer 2

False

Explanation:

The magnitude of the action potential is correlated with the strength of the stimulating input.

The magnitude of the action potential is not correlated with the strength of the stimulating input. To trigger an action potential, a stimulus must be large enough to depolarize the neuronal membrane to a particular threshold value and are caused when different ions cross the neuron membrane.
