[DOCUMENT_TYPE: user_assignment]
This document is a completed lab report for Activity 3 of Exercise 3 in Human Physiology Lab (BIOL 240) at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, focusing on the neurophysiology of nerve impulses and specifically, the action potential threshold. It was submitted by Kaelyn Wozniak on September 21, 2020.
This report is intended for the course instructor to assess a student’s understanding of action potential generation through a PhysioEx simulation. It demonstrates the student’s ability to predict and explain the relationship between stimulus voltage, membrane depolarization, and the initiation of an action potential. It’s used as a graded component of the lab portion of the course.
This report does *not* provide instruction on how to perform the PhysioEx simulation or explain the underlying physiology in detail. It showcases one student’s results and responses to pre- and post-lab quizzes and stop-and-think questions.
The full report includes: pre-lab quiz scores with answers, experiment results showing stimulus voltage and peak values at recording electrodes R1 and R2, responses to prediction and stop-and-think questions, post-lab quiz scores with answers, and a student’s written definitions related to the action potential threshold. This preview only provides a summary of the document’s contents and purpose.
