Which Factors Make Propagation of Electrical Signals in Dendrites More

Question 30

Multiple Choice

Which factors make propagation of electrical signals in dendrites more complex than in axons?


A) The membrane capacitance of dendrites differs from that of neurons.
B) Dendrites do not express voltage-gated ion channels.
C) Dendrites contain a wide variety of voltage-gated ion channels and different branches have different input resistance, which varies with the activity of excitatory and inhibitory synapses.
D) Dendrites do not receive excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs.
E) Dendrites typically have smaller input resistance than axons, which prevents efficient propagation of electrical signals.
