B)action potentials
C)graded potentials
D)polarized potentials

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Graded potentials are small changes in membrane potential that occur in the dendrites and cell body of a neuron. These changes can either depolarize or hyperpolarize the cell and are important for initiating action potentials when they reach a certain threshold.
