An action potential takes about _____ to complete.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An action potential typically takes about 1 millisecond (ms) to complete. This is because the depolarization phase, where the membrane potential rapidly becomes more positive, only lasts for a fraction of a millisecond before the repolarization phase begins. The entire process of depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization typically takes between 1 and 2 ms to complete. Therefore, choice B is the best answer.
