When more action potentials arrive at the axon terminal, how is the postsynaptic cell affected?
A) Neurotransmitter release does not change, but voltages applied to the postsynaptic cell increase.
B) Neurotransmitter release increases, thereby increasing the frequency or magnitude of graded potentials in the postsynaptic cell.
C) Neurotransmitter release does not change, thus the postsynaptic cell behaves the same way it always behaves.
D) Neurotransmitter release increases, but does not change the graded potentials that follow.
B) Neurotransmitter release increases, thereby increasing the frequency or magnitude of graded potentials in the postsynaptic cell.

Which of the following statements explains why decubitus ulcers are of concern in elderly patients?
A. Elderly individuals have increased sebum secretion that provides more nutrients to the bacteria that cause decubitus ulcers. B. Elderly individuals have more fragile skin due to loss of collagen fibers in the dermis, increasing the likelihood of tissue damage. C.
