Expert Solution

Step 1

Assume the conduction velocity is $5 \frac{m}{s} = 0.5 \frac{c m}{m s}$ .

On $x$ -axis take the time in milliseconds.

In every situation stimulation tine will be zero millisecond.

On $y$ -axis take the potential in $m V$ .

Resting membrane potential is $- 70 m V$ .

The potential change is recorded on given point $- 5 c m$ and $5 c m$ as $V m_{1}$ and $V m_{2}$ waveforms respectively. All $V m_{1}$ waveforms are in blue and $V m_{2}$ waveforms are in green.

For every stimulus $V m_{1}$ and $V m_{2}$ would be Action potential in which potential goes to about $+ 35 m V$ and back to $- 70 m V$ in $3$ to $5 m s$ .
