20 Questions
What is the direction of electrical impulse propagation along the axon?
Anterograde direction
Why can the electrical impulse only propagate in an anterograde direction?
Because the upstream region is depolarized and refractory
What is the state of the upstream region of the membrane?
Depolarized and refractory
What is the consequence of the upstream region being depolarized and refractory?
The electrical impulse can propagate only in an anterograde direction
Which figure illustrates the direction of electrical impulse propagation along the axon?
Fig. 20.4A

High resistance
What is the relationship between the distance along the axon and the decremental decay?
Inversely proportional
What is the significance of the λ value in the context of neuronal signaling?
It is the length constant of the axon
What is the primary difference between small, unmyelinated neurons and large-diameter neurons?
Myelination of the neuron
What is the term for the decrease in signal strength as it travels along the axon?
