Each of the following statements about action potentials is true except
A)action potentials are propagated along a dendrite.
B)action potentials require rapid changes in membrane potential.
C)due to ion leaking,membranes may undergo subthreshold depolarization,which is insufficient to produce an action potential.
D)action potentials end with a transient hyperpolarization.
E)the action potential cycle has a refractory period.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Action potentials are primarily propagated along axons, not dendrites. Dendrites typically receive signals and conduct them toward the cell body, while axons are responsible for transmitting action potentials away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.
