In an experiment you artificially cut in half (-50% reduction) the number of voltage gated sodium channels that are located on the membrane of the axon hillock. 1.) Which of the following is the most likely result of this experimental manipulation? A. Summation of more IPSP% would be required for an action potential to occur B. This change would have no effecet on the value required to reach threshold C.Even with a very large number of summating EPSP it would be impossible for an action potential to occur D. The value to reach threshold would be higher (more positive) making it less likely for an setion potential to occur E. All of the above statements are FALSE

Question
In an experiment you artificially cut in half (-50% reduction) the number of voltage gated sodium
channels that are located on the membrane of the axon hillock.
1.) Which of the following is the most likely result of this experimental manipulation?
A. Summation of more IPSPS would be required for an action potential to occur
B. This change would have no effect on the value required to reach threshold
C. Even with a very large number of summating EPSPS it would be impossible for an action potential to
occur
D. The value to reach threshold would be higher (more positive) making it less likely for an aetion
potential to occur
E. All of the above statements are FALSE
The made-up drug Jeakyhoss degrades myelin resulting in myelin becoming more porous and therefore a
poor insulator.
2.) Which of the following would NOT be an effect of leakykose?
A. Propagation of the action potential would likely alow
B. The action potential may degrade because it can't properly be regenerated
C. The action potential would not propagate but would rather reverse directions
D. Saltatory conduction may be disrupted
E. All of the above effects are consistent with the administration of Jeakvhos
