A positive feedback loop occurs when the outcome of an event
causes the event to continue occurring and amplifies its effects.
Which of the following aspects of an action potential constitutes a
positive feedback loop?
, a) an initial flow of sodium ions into the neuron causes the
opening of more voltage-gated sodium channels, rapidly causing
more sodium to enter
b) opening of voltage-gated channels causes the voltage-gated
potassium channels to open and release potassium to the
extracellular environment, slowly counteracting sodium influx
c) the sodium-potassium pump exactly balances ion links by
pumping three sodium and two potassium ions across the
membrane
d) the threshold potential is around -55mV - CORRECT ANSWER
>>an initial flow of sodium ions into the neuron causes the
opening of more voltage-gated sodium channels, rapidly causing
more sodium to enter
