Why Is the Effect of Injecting a Pulse of Correct

question 50

Multiple Choice

Why is the effect of injecting a pulse of correct in a dendrite more complex than the one evoked by injecting a pulse of current in a spherical cell?

• A) Because the molecular composition of the dendritic membrane is different from that of a spherical cell, due to the presence of specific types of ion channels.
• B) Because it is not possible to study the biophysical properties of small, sub-cellular compartments like dendrites.
• C) Because the current injected in a dendrite only flows outward through the cell membrane.
• D) Because the cross section of dendrites varies along the length of the dendrite.
• E) Because the dendritic compartment cannot be represented by only one RC circuit as the injected current flows along the length of the dendrite and not just across the membrane.
