Question

8 when ten or more pre - synaptic neurons conduct impulses to five or fewer post - synaptic neurons, the conduction pattern is said to be ________. multiple choice hyperpolarizing divergent convergent emergent

Explanation:

• Hyperpolarizing: Refers to a change in the membrane potential of a neuron that makes it more negative, not related to the conduction pattern of neurons.
• Divergent: Occurs when one pre - synaptic neuron conducts impulses to many post - synaptic neurons.
• Convergent: When multiple (in this case, ten or more) pre - synaptic neurons conduct impulses to a fewer number (five or fewer) of post - synaptic neurons.
• Emergent: Not a standard term for this type of neural conduction pattern.

Answer:

C. convergent
