KROK 1 2016 – Question 109 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
Microelectrode technique allowed to register a potential following ”all-or-none” law and capable of undecremental spreading. Specify this potential:
- A. Excitatory postsynaptic potential
- B. Receptor potential
- C. Inhibitory postsynaptic potential
- D. Rest potential
- E. Action potential
Hint
Consider which type of electrical signal is regenerative and self-propagating, as opposed to graded and confined to the site where it arises.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
