Given what you already know about the sensation of pain, what is the expected change in membrane potential when pain is felt by sensory receptors? Select one: a. The nerve impulses increase in strength and lower the threshold potential. b. The nerve impulses occur more frequently, thereby transmitting more action potentials according to the intensity of pain. c. The nerve impulses occur more frequently and prevent neurons from entering the refractory period. d. The nerve impulses increase in strength, thereby making the maximum membrane potential higher than normal.
