In Temporal Summation,a Single Presynaptic Neuron Stimulates the Creation of Action

question 4

Multiple Choice

In temporal summation,a single presynaptic neuron stimulates the creation of action potentials in a postsynaptic neuron when it

• C)fires at a steady rate that allows the postsynaptic neuron to return to resting potential.
• D)recruits other presynaptic neurons to begin to fire.
• E)runs out of neurotransmitter.
