What happens if a neuron is stimulated enough midway in an axon to trigger an action potential?
A) The nerve impulse would go both directions from the stimulus point, but only the axon end could transfer the message through neurotransmitters to another neuron.
B) Since neuron transmission is one-way, the nerve impulse would only be transmitted to the end of the axon and then through neurotransmitters to the next neuron.
C) The nerve impulse could not be transmitted because it must be initiated at the pre-synaptic end of a neuron.
D) The nerve impulse would go both directions and the pre-synaptic end would be stimulated to send a second message through this neuron.
E) The nerve impulse would go both directions from the stimulus point, and both ends of the neuron would transmit the message to adjacent neurons.
