Integration ______.
A) occurs at the axon
B) inevitably results in the attainment of a threshold potential
C) is the analysis and interpretation of sensory signals and the formulation of appropriate responses
D) is the assimilation of memories by the limbic system

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Integration involves the analysis and interpretation of sensory signals and the formulation of appropriate responses, which is done by the nervous system. Option A is incorrect because integration can occur at multiple points, not just at the axon. Option B is incorrect because reaching threshold potential is not always necessary for integration to occur. Option D is incorrect because the assimilation of memories is not considered as part of integration, although the limbic system is involved in memory processing.
