Question

20) Action potential occurs in a) milliseconds b) multiseconds c) nanoseconds d) microseconds e) seconds

Answer 1

The correct answer is c) nanoseconds.Action potential is a rapid change in the electrical potential across the membrane of a neuron or muscle cell. It occurs in nanoseconds, which is a unit of time equal to one billionth of a second. This rapid change in electrical potential is essential for the transmission of signals along the axon of a neuron or the contraction of a muscle cell.
