question 4

• A) This stops the depolarization of the axon membrane.
• B) This limits the frequency of action potentials down the axon.
• C) This allows for the efflux (diffusion out) of potassium ions, resulting in the repolarization of the cell.
• D) This allows for the one way transmission of action potential down the axon.
