multiple choice question
what is an action potential?
the diffusion of a neurotransmitter across the synaptic cleft of the nmj
the restoration of a neuron to resting potential
the process of conduction
the energy stored in a resting neuron
An action potential is the process of conduction of an electrical signal along a neuron's membrane. It is not the diffusion of a neurotransmitter (which occurs at synapses), nor is it the restoration of a neuron to resting potential (repolarization), and not the energy stored in a resting neuron.
