Would be ideal if you quoted from your textbook or another citable source, and take some steps to think about what the answer might be and describe your thinking (sort of "show your work"). That'll help me write an answer that specifically addresses the gaps you have. | |

For some reason textbooks always pretend like they don’t exist once the membrane reaches threshold and an action potential fires. So let’s assume that the stimulus current is on, for the whole duration of the action potential. My question is: would that change any of the AP’s characters? For example, increase its amplitude or duration? The one with amplitude specially resonates with me, as I imagine that the current would depolarize the membrane all the time while it’s flowing. | |
