Conduction and refractory periods (states) are typical of ________.
A) action potentials
B) graded hyperpolarisations
C) excitatory postsynaptic potentials
D) threshold potentials

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conduction and refractory periods are characteristic of action potentials, which are brief electrical signals that travel along the axon of a neuron. Graded hyperpolarisations and excitatory postsynaptic potentials are changes in the membrane potential that do not involve conduction along the axon, whereas threshold potentials are the membrane potential required to initiate an action potential.
