Encoding stimulus strength depends on which of the following? Check all that apply. Check All That Apply Different neurons have the same threshold of excitation. The more strongly a neuron is stimulated, the less frequently it fires. Different neurons have different thresholds of excitation. The more strongly a neuron is stimulated, the more frequently it fires.

The intensity of a stimulus is signaled by: (select all that apply) Select one or more: a. a low-threshold receptor sending an increasing number of action potentials to the CNS b. the selective activation of high-threshold receptors when the stimulus intensity surpasses a certain point c. the activation of more low-threshold receptors in areas around the stimulus location d. a low-threshold receptor sending a longer burst of action potentials to the CNS

Use the following information to answer question 31. In an experiment stimuli of increasing strengths were applied to the membrane of an axon. The graph below illustrates the change measured in the membrane potential (mV). 31. Which of the following statements gives an accurate interpretation of the results of this experiment? A. A stimulus must reach a threshold level to propagate a nerve impulse. B. A nerve impulse has a great variety of strengths. C. Most stimuli produce a nerve impulse. D. The greater the stimulus, the greater the strength of the nerve impulse produced.
