Step 1
A graded potential is a temporary change in the membrane potential. Hyperpolarization is when the membrane potential becomes more negative. Threshold potential is the membrane potential required to trigger an action potential. Show more…

A very high magnitude IPSP, which occurs for an extended amount of time, will result in much more frequent action potentials being generated. The very high magnitude graded potential will only affect the frequency of action potentials, not the magnitude of action potentials down the same axon. True False
