Question 3 The neuron axon drawn below is 1 meter long, myelinated, and has a conduction velocity of 1 m/s. It is completely normal and is bathed in a normal ECF solution. Electrodes are placed at point A (initial segment) and B (end of the axon) which are 1 meter apart. A B' 1 meter from A→B At time 0 under control ("normal") conditions, threshold depolarizing current stimulates the axon at point A leading to occurrence of a single normal AP at point A. Will the AP generated at point A propagate to point B? (Yes or No) B. If yes, how long will it take for the AP to reach point B? Explain your reasoning.
