The AV (atrioventricular node).  Electrical conduction is slowed down at this node, and half the time of each action potential is spent on getting the signal through the AV node.  This delay is to allow the ventricles to fill completely with blood before they get the signal to contract.

Which part of the neuron can propagate an action potential?

The axon is the part of the neuron that can propagate an action potential. This process relies on the opening and closing of ion channels along the axon membrane to allow the action potential to travel from the cell body to the axon terminals.

Which part of the neuron is capable of generating an action potiental?

The axon hillock is the part of the neuron that is capable of generating an action potential. It integrates incoming signals from the dendrites and, if the threshold is reached, triggers the action potential to be propagated down the axon.

What part of the neuron can propagate an action potential?

The part of the neuron that can propagate an action potential is the axon. When a neuron is sufficiently depolarized, the action potential travels along the axon by sequentially opening voltage-gated sodium channels, allowing ions to flow in and propagate the electrical signal. The myelin sheath, when present, facilitates faster transmission through a process called saltatory conduction, where the action potential jumps between the nodes of Ranvier.


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.
