Q. No.
The resting membrane potential is first established because of:
1. the movement of potassium ions down their electrical gradient through leak channels
2. the opening of voltage-gated sodium channels
3. the action of the Na+/K+ ATPase pump which transports positive ions in unequal numbers
4. the movement of sodium ions against their concentration gradient through leak channels

What is true for the events that occur during the generation of an action potential?
1. Potassium channels in the membrane open in response to depolarization
2. Sodium channels in the membrane open in response to neurotransmitter released from the adjacent membrane
3. The increase in sodium permeability in the membrane is an example of positive feedback
4. The movement of sodium into the neuron causes the cell to hyperpolarize

Threshold stimuli are those that are strong enough to:
1. Hyperpolarize the neuron membrane
2. Cause a net flux of negatively charged ions from inside to outside the cell
3. Cause a net flux of positively charged ions from outside to inside the cell
4. Close calcium channels to retain them in the cell
All the following statements with respect to the propagation of action potentials are correct except:
1. Saltatory conduction occurs in myelinated nerve fibers
2. During conduction of an action potential, current flows from the active area of the membrane to the adjacent inactive area, thereby decreasing the potential in the inactive area to the threshold
3. Action potential propagation is faster in myelinated fibers than in unmyelinated ones
4. Action potential propagation is faster for strong stimuli than for weaker stimuli
