Record only all-or-none events

Use amplification systems to boost the signals

Use electrical filters to remove the unwanted electrical interference

Use recording pins to pick up only the unwanted electrical interference and take it to "ground"

Use recording pins to pick up only the desired neural signals

Movement of Na⁺ down its electro-chemical gradient

Movement of K⁺ down its electro-chemical gradient

Movement of K⁺ down its concentration gradient

Movement of Na⁺ down its concentration gradient

Exchange of Na⁺ and K⁺ by the active transport ATPase pump

Is faster in large diameter fibres than in small diameter ones

Saltatory conduction occurs in myelinated nerve fibers

Is faster for strong stimuli than for weaker stimuli

Is faster in myelinated fibres than in unmyelinated ones

Does not occur during the refractory period

The number of dendrites from which current enters the neuron

The strength and frequency of the stimulus that initiated the AP

The number of branches the axon forms to divert current flow

The diameter of the axon and presence or absence of a myelin sheath

The length of the axon and number of axon collaterals
