A)the amplitude of the original current.
B)the resistance of the neuronal membrane.
C)the frequency of action potential generation.
D)the conductivity of the intracellular and extracellular fluid.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance covered by an ionic current during electrotonic conduction is affected by the amplitude of the original current, the resistance of the neuronal membrane, and the conductivity of the intracellular and extracellular fluid. However, the frequency of action potential generation does not affect electrotonic conduction as it only determines the rate of action potential firing, not the distance traveled by the ionic current.
