KROK 1 2013 – Question 134 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
It is required to evaluate the level of tissue excitability. For this purpose one should determine:
- A. Action potential amplitude
- B. Depolarization threshold
- C. Critical level of depolarization
- D. Action potential duration
- E. Resting potential
Hint
Excitability reflects how readily a tissue responds, so ask which measurable parameter tells you how much stimulation is needed to start a response.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
