By self regenerating, they mean that when you start an action potential, it continues in proximal (nearby) tissue (e.g., nerve). The depolarization of the action potential continues along the nerve.
An action potential is self-regenerating due to positive feedback mechanisms. When a neuron reaches the threshold potential, voltage-gated sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to enter the cell and depolarize it. This depolarization triggers neighboring sodium channels to open, propagating the action potential along the neuron.
An action potential is self-regenerating due to the depolarization phase, where sodium channels open in response to membrane depolarization, leading to an influx of sodium ions that further depolarizes the membrane and triggers adjacent sodium channels to open. This positive feedback loop allows the action potential to propagate along the axon without losing strength.
An action potential is self-regenerating because the depolarization of the neuron's membrane triggers the opening of voltage-gated sodium channels, allowing sodium ions to flow into the cell. This influx of sodium further depolarizes the membrane, which in turn opens more sodium channels in adjacent segments of the membrane. As a result, the action potential propagates along the axon without diminishing in strength, effectively transmitting the signal. The rapid sequence of depolarization and repolarization ensures the continuous propagation of the action potential down the neuron.
Yes, action potentials are self-propagating. Once an action potential is initiated in a neuron, it causes a local depolarization that triggers adjacent voltage-gated sodium channels to open, leading to the propagation of the signal along the axon. This process continues in a wave-like manner, allowing the action potential to travel long distances without diminishing in strength.
Self-propagated depolarization refers to the process by which an action potential triggers the opening of voltage-gated ion channels along the membrane, causing further depolarization in adjacent regions of the neuron. This process allows the action potential to travel down the length of the neuron, enabling rapid communication within the nervous system.

The Na+ diffusing into the axon during the first phase of the action potential creates a depolarizing current that brings the next segment, or node, of the axon to threshold.

Self-propagated depolarization refers to the process by which an action potential triggers the opening of voltage-gated ion channels along the membrane, causing further depolarization in adjacent regions of the neuron. This process allows the action potential to travel down the length of the neuron, enabling rapid communication within the nervous system.
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.
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.
