What is the passive spread of current along a membrane called?
A) graded potential
B) refractory period
C) electrotonic conduction

E) action potential

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrotonic conduction refers to the passive spread of current along a membrane, where the electrical signal diminishes as it moves away from the source of the current. This is in contrast to action potentials, which actively propagate without diminishing in strength.
