. 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 compound action potential). Would the response at r2 after lidocaine application necessarily be zero? why or why not?

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