Which statement is false about intact neurons?
  a. An action potential can be generated in an input
  zone only.
  b. A trigger zone has enough sodium gates to
  initiate an action potential.
  c. Each portion of a membrane has its own
  recovery time.
  d. The potassium gates open during the recovery
  period.
  e. Gated sodium channels are inactivated during
  the recovery period.

Question 2

The reason that an action potential is so brief is that
  a. a wave of repolarization immediately follows the
  rising portion of the spike.
  b. the closing of potassium gates allows the voltage
  difference across the neural membrane to be
  restored.
  c. the channels for sodium movement remain open.
  d. the sodium-potassium pump restores the
  electrical gradients.
  e. the membrane limits electrical activity.
