The action potential consists of __________.
A) a transition from a negative charge (inside the neuron) to a persisting positive charge (inside)
B) a transition from a positive charge (inside) to a negative (inside) and a quick return to a positive charge (inside)
C) a transition from a negative charge (inside) to a positive (inside) and a quick return to a negative charge (inside)
D) the flow of negative ions into the cell followed by the pumping out of these negative ions from the inside of the axon

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An action potential involves a transition from a negative charge inside the neuron to a positive charge inside, followed by a quick return to a negative charge inside. This process is crucial for the propagation of nerve impulses.
