A ________ potential is a depolarization of a sensory dendrite that can lead to an afferent nerve impulse if strong enough.
A) resting
B) refractory
C) postsynaptic
D) generator
E) presynaptic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A generator potential is a depolarization of a sensory dendrite that can lead to an afferent nerve impulse if strong enough. Resting potential refers to the polarized state of a neuron at rest, refractory potential is a period of time during which a neuron cannot generate another action potential, postsynaptic potential is a change in the membrane potential of a postsynaptic cell due to neurotransmitter binding, and presynaptic potential is a change in the membrane potential of a presynaptic cell.
