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.

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
аpart.
В

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)
If yes, how long will it take for the AP to reach point B? Explain your reasoning.
