 |
| 3 |  |  What was the effect of cooling on the duration (width) of the CAP? |
|  | A) | Cooling increased the duration of the CAP. |
|  | B) | Cooling did not change the duration of the CAP. |

|  | A) | Cooling decreased the time delay. |
|  | B) | Cooling did not change the time delay. |
|  | C) | Cooling increased the time delay. |

|
 |
| 5 |  |  What was the effect of cooling on the conduction velocity of the CAP? |
|  | A) | Cooling decreased conduction velocity. |
|  | B) | Cooling did not change the conduction velocity. |
|  | C) | Cooling increased conduction velocity. |
|
|
 |
| 6 |  |  What is the effect of cooling on the rate of enzymic action? |
|  | A) | Cooling decreases the rate of enzymic action. |
|  | B) | Cooling does not change the rate of enzymic action. |
|  | C) | Cooling increases the rate of enzymic action. |
|
|
 |
| 7 |  |  Ion channels and enzymes are both proteins. If cooling decreases the rate of enzymic activity, what does cooling do to the rate that channels open and close? |
|  | A) | Cooling increases the rate that channels open and close. |
|  | B) | Cooling does not change the rate that channels open and close. |
|  | C) | Cooling decreases the rate that channels open and close. |
|
|
 |
| 8 |  |  If channel opening and closing are temperature sensitive, what do you think happens to the rate of membrane potential change when the nerve is cold? |
|  | A) | The channels open and close slower in the cold, so the resultant membrane potential change takes place slower. |
|  | B) | The channels open and close slower in the cold, so the resultant membrane potential change takes place faster. |
|  | C) | The channels open and close slower in the cold, but this should not affect the rate of membrane potential change. |
|
|
 |
| 9 |  |  If cooling slows channel function and membrane potential changes, what will be the effect of cooling on the time course (duration) of the action potential? |
|  | A) | The time course of the action potential will be decreased. |
|  | B) | The time course of the action potential will be increased. |
|  | C) | The time course of the action potential will not be changed. |
|
|
 |
| 10 |  |  If cooling increases the time taken for the membrane to come to threshold and produce a spike, what will be the effect of cooling on the time taken for the action potential transmission from node to node in a myelinated axon? |
|  | A) | Cooling increases the time for spikes to travel between nodes, so conduction velocity will be slower. |
|  | B) | Cooling increases the time for spikes to travel between nodes, so conduction velocity will be faster. |
|  | C) | Cooling increases the time for spikes to travel between nodes, but this will not affect the conduction velocity of the action potential down the axon. |
