Which of the following is not a graded potential?
A)end-plate potential
B)action potential
C)slow-wave potential
D)receptor potential
E)postsynaptic potential

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Graded potentials are small changes in membrane potential that are localized and can vary in amplitude. The end-plate potential, slow-wave potential, receptor potential, and postsynaptic potential are all examples of graded potentials. Action potentials, on the other hand, are all-or-nothing events that are propagated down the axon of a neuron and result in a large, rapid change in membrane potential. Therefore, B - action potential is not a graded potential.
