The Dendrites of a Neuron Interact with Several Different Axon

question 74

Multiple Choice

The dendrites of a neuron interact with several different axon terminals. Some of them are sending excitatory signals, while others are sending inhibitory signals. Over the course of the effects of these signals, the neuronal membrane potential reaches around -90mV. This means, overall, that the neuron will be

• A)excited enough to easily cross threshold and generate an action potential.
• B)excited, but not enough to cross threshold.
• C)stabilized to remain at resting potential.
• D)inhibited from generating action potentials.
