An electrical signal that is conducted along the length of a neuron's axon to a synapse is called a(n)_____ potential.
A)electrostatic
B)resting
C)action
D)equilibrium

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An action potential is a rapid and brief change in the membrane potential of a neuron that is conducted along the axon to the synapse, where it is used to transmit information to other neurons or muscles. Electrostatic and resting potentials refer to the voltage differences across the membrane when the neuron is at rest, while equilibrium potential refers to the voltage at which the net flow of an ion across the membrane is zero.
