Question

multiple choice question
as an action potential occurs in one area of the axon, an electrical current to neighboring areas of the membrane initiates
○ hyperpolarization of the membrane
○ another action potential
○ a graded potential

Explanation:

When an action potential occurs in one area of the axon, the electrical current spreads to neighboring membrane areas and initiates another action potential due to the all - or - none law of action potentials. Hyperpolarization is a phase after an action potential and a graded potential is different in nature from action potential and not what is initiated in this context.

Answer:

B. another action potential
