How Do Nonspiking Neurons Function Even Though Their Depolarization Signal

Question 42

Multiple Choice

How do nonspiking neurons function even though their depolarization signal significantly degrades with distance?


A) Voltage-gated Na+ channels are replaced by ligand-gated Na+ channels.
B) These neurons are very short, so there is no major signal decrement.
C) There are sufficient numbers of voltage-gated Na+ channels to convey the signal without major decrement.
D) Voltage-gated K+ channels compensate for the lack of voltage-gated Na+ channels.
