Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following shows the proper sequence of Action Potential Events?
A
The neuron is in a polarized “resting” state, The neuron is stimulated at the dendrites, K+ gates open, The cell is fully repolarized, Na+ gates open, The cell is fully depolarized
B
The neuron is in a polarized “resting” state, The neuron is stimulated at the dendrites, The cell is fully depolarized, K+ gates open, The cell is fully repolarized, Na+ gates open
C
The neuron is in a polarized “resting” state, The neuron is stimulated at the dendrites, Na+ gates open, The cell is fully depolarized, K+ gates open, The cell is fully repolarized
D
The neuron is in a polarized “resting” state, The neuron is stimulated at the dendrites, The cell is fully repolarized, Na+ gates open, The cell is fully depolarized, K+ gates open
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct order by which a neuron obtains a stimulus, generates an action potential, and then returns to resting membrane potential (RMP) is: stimulus-> threshold-> depolarization-> repolarization-> RMP.

Detailed explanation-2: -The action potential has three main stages: depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization.

Detailed explanation-3: -An action potential can be further broken down into its separate stages: depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, and the refractory period.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer: The representation of the correct order of events in an action potential is a.) Resting potential, Depolarization, Hyperpolarization, Repolarization, Return to resting. A neuron in the resting state remains at a potential which is known as resting potential.
