C) Passively spreads to the adjacent muscle mem brane
D) Is an action potential
E) Both A and C are correct

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The end-plate potential is graded, meaning its magnitude can vary, and it passively spreads to the adjacent muscle membrane, initiating an action potential if it is strong enough. It is not a hyperpolarization nor an action potential itself.
