What membrane potential must generally be met in order to achieve threshold?
A)- 30 mV
B)- 55 mV
C)- 70 mV
D)- 85 mV

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The membrane potential that generally must be met in order to achieve threshold is -55 mV, also known as the threshold potential. This is the point at which voltage-gated sodium channels open, triggering depolarization and the generation of an action potential. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the threshold potential.
