Action Potentials Are Normally Generated at the Axon Hillock and Propagated

Multiple Choice

Action potentials are normally generated at the axon hillock and propagated down the axon away from the cell body. If you experimentally depolarized an axon to the threshold level at a point halfway down the axon, what would happen?

A) An action potential would be generated that would travel to the synapse with the next neuron.
B) An action potential would be generated that would travel back towards the cell body.
C) No action potential could be generated at this location.
D) Answers A and B both apply.
