question 95

Multiple Choice

• A)It is frequency modulated and of the same amplitude for intensity.
• B)The temporal lobe in the brain stimulates EPSPs to trigger an action potential.
• C)Generator potentials are at the same tempo on adjacent neurons.
• D)Two or more postsynaptic potentials are generated in rapid succession at the same synapse before they can dissipate, thereby exceeding threshold.
• E)Potentials are generated on several dendrites at the same time to trigger threshold and the production of an action potential.
