The value of the active membrane potential of the neuron is:

Correct answer: C. 0.05 Volts

  • A. 0.01 volts
  • B. 0 02 Volts
  • C. 0.05 Volts
  • D. 0.07 Volts

Explanation

The action potential of a neuron typically peaks at around 0.05 V (or 50 mV) during the depolarization phase, which is the rapid increase in membrane potential when a neuron fires. This is the most appropriate value for the peak of the action potential.

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.
