Question

multiple choice question
in a neuron, a stimulus that is weaker than the threshold stimulus will

produce an extremely strong nerve impulse/action potential.
produce an extremely weak nerve impulse/action potential.
produce the same strength nerve impulse as a strong stimulus.
not produce an action potential.

Explanation:

The all - or - none law of neurons states that a neuron either fires with a full - sized action potential when the threshold stimulus is reached or does not fire at all. A stimulus weaker than the threshold stimulus will not depolarize the neuron enough to trigger the opening of voltage - gated ion channels and initiate an action potential.

Answer:

D. not produce an action potential.
