If the positive sodium ions rush inside the axon,the axon will:
A) enter the resting state
B) release a neurotransmitter
C) change its threshold
D) experience an action potential

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Positive sodium ions rushing inside the axon cause depolarization of the cell membrane, which can reach a critical threshold and trigger an action potential - a rapid, temporary change in the electrical potential of the axon. Therefore, the correct answer is D - experience an action potential.

If the Positive Sodium Ions Rush Inside the Axon,the Axon
