D)synaptic combination

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This phenomenon is called temporal summation, where repeated weak stimuli can combine to produce a reflexive response. Spatial summation refers to the additive effect of multiple stimuli at different locations, saltatory conduction refers to the rapid transmission of action potentials along myelinated axons, and synaptic combination is not a commonly used scientific term.
