B.
To determine: The frequency of action potential generation.
Introduction: Neurons are the basic fundamental units of the nervous system and also known as nerve cells. Just like all the cells in the human body, the neurons are also similar but the key factor that separates the neurons from all the cells in the body is the neuron's ability to transmit information among the neural cells.
C.
Introduction: The excitable cells of muscles and nerves undergo rapid depolarization of the membrane potential followed by the repolarization of the membrane potential. This phenomenon is known as an action potential. It is the basic mechanism of information transmission between muscle types and neurons.
