2. Free Response Questions

[h]Nervous system FRQs

[i]Accidentally, you’ve touched something that’s burning hot. Almost instantly, a reflex moves your arm away from the source of the heat. Awareness of the pain and injury follows a moment later.

Use what you’rve learned about the nervous system to answer the FRQs that follow.

[q]Explain how a stimulus (such as a burning object) can generate an action potential. In your answer, 1) sketch an action potential, 2) fully describe what happens during an action potential (ending at the falling phase) and 3) explain how the membrane’s resting potential is restored.

1 Resting potential

A. graded depolarization.

2. Threshold

3. Rising phase of action potential

4. Falling Phase.

5. Refractory Period.

PART 2: Explanation of how an action potential is generated.

At the tip of a sensory neuron are dendrites. These contain heat sensitive sodium ion channels, pain sensors, etc. In response to the injury, these channels open up, which allows sodium ions to flow from outside the cell, where they’ve been pumped by the sodium-potassium pump. As these sodium ions enter, they cause a graded depolarization.

This depolarization is probably happening at multiple dendrites, each of which has multiple ion channels. Through a process called summation, the axon hillock of the cell body adds all of these depolarizations together.  When the depolarization reaches the threshold potential (about -50 mV), voltage-sensitive sodium ion channels in the axon-hillock open. This is an all or none-response, and generates an action potential.

An action potential begins with a rising phase, during which voltage gated sodium ion channels open. As sodium ions rush in, they completely depolarize the membrane so that it becomes positive on the inside relative to the outside (a value of about 35 mV). At that point, these voltage gated sodium ion channels close, and voltage gated potassium ion channels open. This allows potassium ions to rush out of the cell. As they do, they carry out their positive charge, making the membrane potential switch back to negative. This outflow of potassium ions is called the falling phase of the action potential.

PART 3: How the resting potential is restored.

At the end of the falling phase, so much potassium has rushed out of the cell that the the membrane becomes hyperpolarized (to a value even more negative than the resting potential of -70 mV). This is called the undershoot. At that point, potassium ion channels close. Note that while the membrane potential is negative (as it is during the resting phase), the membrane now has many potassium ions on the outside, and many sodium ions on the inside. This ionic situation causes a refractory period, when another action potential becomes temporarily impossible. To restore the resting potential, the membrane’s sodium-potassium pump goes to work, pumping 3 sodium ions out of the cell for every two potassium ions that are pumped into the cell. In a few milliseconds, the resting potential is restored.

[q]Describe how an action potential can move down the length of an axon.
