An EPSP is conducted decrementally to the axon hillock,where voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels are opened to created an action potential in the axon.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EPSPs are graded potentials that can summate and reach the axon hillock, where voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels are opened to create an action potential if the depolarization reaches threshold. The action potential is all-or-none and conducted without decrement to the axon terminals.
