Question

An action potential is initiated each time the membrane potential is raised to .......... potential.

Answer 1

• An action potential is initiated each time the membrane potential is raised to Threshold potential.
• The action potential is the change in electrical potential associated with the passage of an impulse along the membrane of a nerve cell(neuron).
• The action potential threshold in a neuron is the point of depolarization at which the neuron fires, transmitting information to another neuron. Below this potential nerve impulse is not transmitted or generated.
