Answer:

Both A and B

A. An action potential would be generated that would travel to the synapse with the next neuron.

B. An action potential would be generated that would travel back towards the cell body

Explanation:

An action potential can be define as a process that occurs when axon receives the information sent down by neuron from the cell body.

An action potential make it possible for neuron to help transport electrical signal and this happens when the neurons generate and conduct these signals along their processes in order to transport them to the target tissues or to the next neuron and this action potential will as well be generated in order to travel back towards the cell body.

The action potential often begins in the nerve fibre because it enables graded potential to reach the threshold potential which in turn causes an ACTION POTENTIAL.

Therefore in action potential the membrane potential of the location of the cell often rise and fall.

Axon or nerve fibre also helps to transport information to various neuron.

Answer: The correct answer is (D) Both A and B

Explanation:

When an axon is depolarized at halfway to the threshold level,the action potential will be generated that would travel 'downstream' i.e towards the synapse and 'upstream' i.e back towards the cell body. This is because both channels on either sides are not under refractory period,i.e they are open.

Zina [86]

Included in the algorithm are critical time goals set by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders (NINDS) for in-hospital assessment and management. These time goals are based on findings from large studies of stroke victims:

Immediate general assessment by a stoke team, emergency physician, or other expert within 10 minutes of arrival, including the order for an urgent CT scan

Neurologic assessment by stroke team and CT scan performed within 25 minutes of arrival

Interpretation of CT scan within 45 minutes of ED arrival

Initiation of fibrinolytic therapy, if appropriate, within 1 hour of hospital arrival and 3 hours from onset of symptoms. rTpa can be administered in “well screened” patients who are at low risk for bleeding for up to 4.5 hours.

Door-to-admission time of 3 hours in all patients
