Questions and Answers
Which statement accurately describes the depolarization of the soma end of the axon?
Which statement accurately describes the depolarization of the soma end of the axon?
- The depolarization is prevented by the closing of K+ channels
- The depolarization is caused by the inactivation of Na+ channels
- The depolarization is inhibited by the opening of K+ channels
- The depolarization is initiated by the opening of Na+ channels (correct)
What happens to the membrane during the depolarization of the soma end of the axon?
What happens to the membrane during the depolarization of the soma end of the axon?
- The membrane becomes hyperpolarized
- The membrane repolarizes
- The membrane depolarizes again (correct)
- The membrane remains unchanged
