Multiple Choice
Which of the following is not a true statement about the conduction of action potentials (APs) in axons?
A) The inward Na+ current of an AP generates an AP in the neighboring node of a myelinated axon.
B) All APs in a given axon typically are identical in magnitude and duration.
C) An action potential experimentally generated by a depolarization in the middle of an axon is conducted in only one direction from the site of initiation.
D) The velocity of AP conduction is positively correlated with axon diameter.
E) The frequency of APs is limited by the length of the refractory period.
