1. A nerve is a bundle of axons, and some nerves are less sensitive to lidocaine. If a nerve, rather than an axon, had been used in the lidocaine experiment, the responses recorded at R1 and R2 would be the sum of all the action potentials (called a compoud action potential). Would the response at R2 after lidocaine application necessarily be zero? Why or why not?

If anybody could help answer this for me that would be great!

With a compound action potential, the results would not necessarily be zero because some axons could remain unaffected.
