What Happens If a Neuron Is Stimulated Enough Midway in an Axon

question 17

Multiple Choice

What happens if a neuron is stimulated enough midway in an axon to trigger an action potential?

• A)The nerve impulse would go both directions from the stimulus point, but only the axon end could transfer the message through neurotransmitters to another neuron.
• B)Since neuron transmission is one-way, the nerve impulse would only be transmitted to the end of the axon and then through neurotransmitters to the next neuron.
• C)The nerve impulse could not be transmitted because it must be initiated at the pre-synaptic end of a neuron.
• D)The nerve impulse would go both directions and the pre-synaptic end would be stimulated to send a second message through this neuron.
• E)The nerve impulse would go both directions from the stimulus point, and both ends of the neuron would transmit the message to adjacent neurons.
