16. The end of the rising phase of an action potential occurs when the chloride channels open sodium channels close potassium channels close calcium channels open 17. The synapse is the specialized structure that makes action potentials travel faster. None of the above allows neurons to communicate with each other. shield neurons from viral and bacterial invaders.

What happens once an action potential starts? It is conducted the rest of the way as an electrical current. It needs additional stimulation to keep it going along the axon. It increases in speed as it goes. It is regenerated at other points along the axon. Saltatory conduction along the axon the velocity of action potentials and the amount of energy used by the neuron. decreases; decreases decreases; increases increases; decreases increases; increases

Significantly increasing the calcium concentration in the extracellular fluid surrounding a neuron would cause the membrane to depolarize. This would initially trigger some action potential as the membrane exceeds the threshold potential, but ultimately it would stop all action potentials.
