Title: Direction of Action Potential Conduction?
Post by: hayliecanter on Jan 22, 2013
Please Help! I'm stuck and have tried to look through the book for help.



In the diagram, (a), (b), and (c) represent three points along a vertebrate axon where electrodes were implanted to detect action potentials. Under normal conditions, when this neuron produces an action potential, the action potential passes through point (a) first, followed by point (b), and then point (c).

Suppose, however, that an action potential is artificially triggered at the point indicated by the red arrow. In what sequence would the action potential pass through points (a), (b), and (c)?

Enter the sequence in which the action potential would pass through the points. Enter the letters in the correct order separated by commas. For example if the order is point (c), then (b), then (a), enter c, b, a. If the action potential would not pass though a point, do not include that point in your answer.
