Question

summation that results from the cumulative effect of multiple synapses at multiple places on the neuron is designated
temporal summation.
spatial summation.
impulse transmission.
hyperpolarization.
inhibition of the impulse.

Explanation:

• Temporal summation is due to repeated signals from a single synapse over time.
• Spatial summation is from multiple synapses at multiple places on the neuron simultaneously.
• Impulse transmission is about sending signals along neurons.
• Hyperpolarization is a change in membrane potential making it more negative.
• Inhibition of the impulse is about preventing signal propagation.

Answer:

B. spatial summation.
