Question
4 action potentials are generated across the plasma membrane of
a. cell bodies.
d. the myelin sheath.
b. dendrites.
e. more than one of the above can generate
c. an axon.
action potentials.
Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons use to communicate. They are generated across the plasma membrane of an axon. Cell bodies and dendrites are involved in receiving and integrating signals but typically do not generate action potentials. The myelin sheath insulates the axon and speeds up the conduction of action potentials but is not the site of generation.
