When the summed total of postsynaptic potentials rises above threshold,creation of action potentials occurs
A)in the synaptic cleft.
B)in the dendrites.
C)at the trigger zone.
D)in the neuron nucleus.
E)in the neuroplasm.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Action potentials are created at the trigger zone of the neuron, which is the region where the axon emerges from the cell body. This is where the threshold is reached and the action potential is generated, leading to the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. The other options (A, B, D, and E) are not locations where action potentials are created.
