Q. |
The variation of the electrical potential associated with the passage of a pulse along the membrane of a muscle cell or a nerve cell is called |
A. | muscle potential |
B. | action potential |
C. | resting potential |
D. | half cell potential |
Answer» B. action potential | |
Explanation: An action potential occurs when the potential of the membrane of a given axonal position increases and decreases rapidly. This depolarization causes depolarization of adjacent positions in a similar way. Resting membrane potential or the resting potential is the relative static membrane potential of a quiescent cell. |
