In order to activate a stimulus along a neuron and thus create an action potential,which of the following statements is CORRECT?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The initiation of the action potential is all-or-none, meaning that once the threshold is reached, the action potential is generated and travels the length of the neuron without losing strength. The threshold level may vary among different types of neurons. The myelin sheath actually speeds up the rate of transmission of the action potential by allowing it to jump from node to node instead of traveling through the entire length of the neuron. The action potential does not lose intensity as it passes each Node of Ranvier.
