Functionally, this cellular location is the neuron's "decision-making site" as to whether or not an action potential will be initiated:
A)axonal membranes
B)axon hillocks

D)mitochondrial membranes
E)presynaptic membranes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon hillock is the region where the axon emerges from the cell body of the neuron. It is responsible for integrating the signals received from the dendrites and initiating the action potential if the dendritic input exceeds a certain threshold. Therefore, it is considered the "decision-making site" of the neuron.
