Question

The AP is a wave of ___ that rapidly spreads along the axolemma. This wave is triggered by a local change in MP to a value that is ___ negative than the RMP. The AP is propagated by the opening of ___ gated channels. The AP travels from the neuron's ___ along the ___ to the nerve terminals. Neurons chiefly receive signals at their highly branched ___. During an AP, the MP changes from ___ to ___. Hyperpolarization: depolarization: more: less: negative: positive: neutral: cell body: axon: dendrites: voltage: ligand.

Explanation / Answer

The AP is a wave of depolarisation that rapidly spreads along the axolemma.This wave is trigerred by a local change in the MP to a value that is less negative than the RMP.

The AP is propogated by the opening of the voltage gated channels.

The AP travels from the neurons cell body along the axon to the nerve terminals.

Neurons chiefly recieve signals at their highly branched dendrites.

During an AP, the MP changes from negative to positive.
