Question 14 (1 point) A nerve impulse (action potential)could be generated in a neuron if the dendrites receive many excitatory impulses in quick succession many different dendrites receive excitatory impulses from many different neurons the excitatory impulses received by the dendrites are greater than the inhibitory impulses all of the above

Answer 1

The correct answer is: all of the above.A nerve impulse, or action potential, can be generated in a neuron under the following conditions:1. The dendrites receive many excitatory impulses in quick succession (temporal summation).2. Many different dendrites receive excitatory impulses from many different neurons (spatial summation).3. The excitatory impulses received by the dendrites are greater than the inhibitory impulses, leading to depolarization of the neuron's membrane to reach the threshold potential.All these conditions contribute to the likelihood of reaching the threshold needed to trigger an action potential.
