The fundamental cell type that conducts an action potential in the nervous system is a?
neuron
What parts of a neuron is capable of generating a graded potential?
The dendrites portion of a neuron will generate a potential.
A neuron will generate action potentials when it?
A neuron will generate action potential when it is stimulated by a neurotransmitter.
The start of an action potential?
An action potential starts when sodium channels in a neuron end open and sodium ions rush is, depolarizing the neuron's membrane.
The action potential is generated when a stimulus?
When a stimulus stimulates a neuron above the threshold, the action potential is generated.
The fundamental cell type that conducts an action potential in the nervous system is a?
neuron
What portion a neuron conducts nerve impulses away from the neuron?
axons
Is the axon the conduction component of a neuron?
Yes, the axon conducts the action potential from the cell body to the effector organ.
Where does an action potential start?
Action potentials are generated on a part of the neuron called the 'axon hillock' - the proximal most portion of the axon.
What parts of a neuron is capable of generating a graded potential?
The dendrites portion of a neuron will generate a potential.
A neuron will generate action potentials when it?
A neuron will generate action potential when it is stimulated by a neurotransmitter.
When neuron stimulated enough it?
When a neuron is stimulated enough, it reaches its threshold potential and fires an action potential. This action potential travels down the axon of the neuron, allowing for the communication of signals to other neurons or cells.
What cell that generates action potential?
neuron
The start of an action potential?
An action potential starts when sodium channels in a neuron end open and sodium ions rush is, depolarizing the neuron's membrane.
The action potential is generated when a stimulus?
When a stimulus stimulates a neuron above the threshold, the action potential is generated.
What causes the vesicles inside a neuron to fuse with the plasma membrane?
An action potential in the neuron
Corresponds to the period of repolarization of the neuron?
Action Potential
