Question

In terms of signaling, what is most significant about action potentials?

Answer 1

Answer:

Letter C

Explanation:

Action potentials are certainly a key to understand neuronal signaling, and to this day, neuroscientists are still developing specific models to try decipher how much information a bunch of neuronal spikes has to inform in distinct neurons.

Interestingly, throughout evolution action potentials have proven to be a very efficient mechanism of communication, and their most studied and most important attribute has been proved to be frequency, which is a property that depends on the source only, ie it does not change until you reach your destination. So, the right answer is Letter C.

Answer 2

Answer

b) the number of phases

Explanation:

• Action potentials cannot be partial.
• The frequency of signaling is constant.
• The magnitude it constant as well.
