A neuron typically reaches threshold for an action potential when it is depolarized approximately _________mV.
A) 1-2
B) 2-5
C) 5-10
D) 10-12

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The typical threshold for an action potential to occur is around -55mV to -50mV, which falls within the range of 5-10mV. Therefore, choice C is the best answer. Choices A, B, and D are outside of the typical threshold range for an action potential.
