Question

Transcribed Image Text:Researchers have designed a neuron that's unable to produce and release neurotransmitters. Can
that neuron still have an action potential? Choose the answer with the correct answer and the
correct reasoning.
O No, action potentials need neurotransmitters to increase message speed
O No, a neuron can't receive messages without its own neurotransmitters
O No, a lack of neurotransmitters would leave a neuron unmyelinated
O No, action potentials don't occur in the axon
O Yes, action potentials don't require neurotransmitters:

Why does the action potential not go back to where it came from? (Multiple answers possibly) the absolute refractory period prevents this from happening Sodium voltage gated ions in the area where the action potential just came from are fully activated or inactivated Sodium voltage gated ions bind to the Na+ ions, preventing them from diffusing backwards Na+ only diffuses forward in the axon 2.
