Which of the following types of ion channels are used to conduct an action potential along a neuronal membrane?
A)leak channels
B)voltage-gated channels
C)mechanically gated channels
D)ligand-gated channels
E)facilitated diffusion carriers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Voltage-gated channels are activated by changes in the membrane potential and are responsible for the rapid depolarization and repolarization of the neuronal membrane during an action potential. The other types of channels listed are important for other physiological processes but not specifically for conducting an action potential.
