Which of the Following Statements Concerning Propagation of Action Potentials

question 119

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements concerning propagation of action potentials is incorrect?

• A) saltatory conduction occurs in myelinated nerve fibers.
• B) during conduction by local current flow, there is a flow of current between the active and adjacent inactive area of the cell membrane, thereby decreasing the potential in the inactive area to threshold.
• C) the action potential jumps from one Schwann cell to the adjacent Schwann cell in a myelinated fiber.
• D) saltatory conduction is faster than conduction by local current flow.
• E) conduction by local current flow is the method of propagation in unmyelinated fibers.
