Self-propagation and refractory periods (or refractory states) are typical of ________.

B) graded hyperpolarizations
C) excitatory postsynaptic potentials
D) threshold potentials
E) resting potentials

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-propagation and refractory periods are characteristics of action potentials, which are electrical signals that travel along the axon of a neuron. Graded hyperpolarizations and excitatory postsynaptic potentials are types of synaptic potentials that do not propagate along the axon. Threshold potentials are the minimum depolarization needed to trigger an action potential. Resting potentials are the stable membrane potentials of unstimulated neurons.
