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.

• 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.
