Which of the following are the likely explanations for the failure of a postsynaptic neuron to trigger an action potential? Select all that apply.
The EPSPs are neutralized by the neurotransmitter
The summation of IPSPs and EPSPs is insufficient to depolarize the cell to threshold
The synapses generating the EPSPs are too close to the axon hillock
The synapses generating the EPSPs are too far from the axon hillock
Which of the following statements is TRUE about the depolarization phase of action potential?
Group of answer choices:
Na-K pump initiates depolarization.
Potassium ion channels quickly opens to allow efflux of ions.
Depolarization is characterized by the movement of calcium ions out of the cell.
Depolarization is primarily triggered by opening of sodium ion channels

Which of the following would occur if a neuron was experimentally stimulated simultaneously at both ends?
The action potentials would pass in the middle and travel to the opposite ends
The action potentials would stop as they meet in the middle.
The stronger action potential would override the weaker action potential.
Summation would occur when the action potentials meet in the middle, resulting in a larger action potential.
