Neurons do not fire action potentials because they are not excitable cells like nerve cells. Neurons are made up of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon that transmit signals in the form of electrical impulses, known as action potentials.
Every time neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic neuron it generates an excitatory post synaptic potential(EPSP) in the postsynaptic neuron. When the EPSP is greater than the threshold for excitation an action potential is generated.
A neuron will have an action potential if the stimuli it receives are strong enough to reach its threshold level. Once the threshold is reached, voltage-gated channels open, allowing an influx of sodium ions which triggers depolarization and leads to the generation of an action potential.
Dendrites of a postsynaptic nerve contain receptors for neurotransmitters released by the presynaptic neuron. These receptors detect and respond to the neurotransmitters by initiating an electrical signal that travels towards the cell body. This signal determines whether the neuron will fire an action potential.
No, hyperpolarization graded potentials do not lead to action potentials. Hyperpolarization makes the membrane potential more negative, which inhibits the generation of an action potential by increasing the distance from the threshold potential needed to trigger an action potential.
The regeneration of action potential is called "propagation." It involves the transmission of the action potential along the length of the neuron's axon.

I belive the size of the axon potential remains constant at a depolarisation of +40 mv and a resting potential of -70mv for most nerves. The frenquency of action potentials is the factor that determines the strength of the nerve impulse.

When deciding whether to address the risk of a potential raid issue, consider factors such as the likelihood of the raid happening, the potential impact on the organization, the resources needed to address the risk, and the legal and ethical implications of taking action.
It creates an action potential
No, hyperpolarization graded potentials do not lead to action potentials. Hyperpolarization makes the membrane potential more negative, which inhibits the generation of an action potential by increasing the distance from the threshold potential needed to trigger an action potential.
Length, not caliber, determines action size
The regeneration of action potential is called "propagation." It involves the transmission of the action potential along the length of the neuron's axon.
Curare does NOT create an action potential. It binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (which are primarily excitatory), and prevents the formation of an action potential.
