Sufficient depolarization in neurolemma results in:

Correct answer: C. Action potential

  • A. Potassium leakage
  • B. Resting membrane potential
  • C. Action potential
  • D. Repolarization
  • E. Sub-threshold potential

Explanation

An action potential is a rapid and temporary change in the membrane potential of a neuron or muscle cell that allows for the transmission of electrical signals. It occurs when a stimulus depolarizes the membrane to a threshold level, typically around -55 mV.

About Coordination and Control

Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
