Which of the following types of electrical signals allow rapid long-distance communication within the nervous system?
A)resting potential
B)nerve action potential
C)muscle action potential
D)graded potential
E)long-term potentiation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve action potentials are characterized by rapid depolarization of the membrane potential followed by repolarization, allowing for rapid long-distance communication within the nervous system. Resting potentials, graded potentials, and muscle action potentials are involved in different aspects of neural signaling, but do not allow for long-distance communication to the same extent. Long-term potentiation refers to a process of strengthening synapses between neurons, but does not represent an electrical signal itself.
