In order for an action potential to be transmitted to the next neuron, it must first be _____ at the axon hillock.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An action potential is generated at the axon hillock when the threshold potential is reached. This is the point where the depolarization (excitation) is strong enough to create an electrical signal that can be transmitted along the axon. It is not weakened or terminated at this point, but rather strengthened and propagated further down the axon.
