Chemically-gated channels are primarily located on the axons of neurons. (2 points)

If a graded (local) potential raises voltage (depolarization) above threshold, this will prevent the cell from beginning an action potential. (2 points)

In a multipolar neuron, these multiple branched processes are found attached directly to the soma (cell body) of the neuron and function to receive a signal from another neuron.

In the above image, a graded potential in neuron 2 is likely stimulated by __________________________ .
Once a neuron reaches threshold membrane potential, the acti…
Once a neuron reaches threshold membrane potential, the action potential can only travel in one direction, towards the axon terminals. (2 points)
Which type of membrane proteins are required to establish a…
Which type of membrane proteins are required to establish a resting membrane potential? Choose all that apply. (3 points)
If a graded (local) potential does not reach threshold, the…
If a graded (local) potential does not reach threshold, the cell will return to resting membrane potential once the stimulus stops. (2 points)
When considering the electrochemical gradient of potassium i…
When considering the electrochemical gradient of potassium ions, the electric gradient counteracts (is opposite) the chemical gradient of the ion. (2 points)

Efferent neurons carry electrical signals toward the central nervous system. (2 points)
