Action potentials are a type of _________ signaling that relies on ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Action potentials are a type of electrical signaling that relies on the movement of charged ions (specifically, sodium and potassium ions) across the cell membrane. This creates a change in the electrical potential of the cell, which propagates down the axon as an action potential. While neurotransmitters do play a role in neuronal signaling, they are not directly involved in generating action potentials.
