Question

The changes in the electrical potential of a neuron that constitute the action potential occur in the following order

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

depolarization-> resting potential –> hyperpolarization –> resting potential resting potential –> depolarization-> hyperpolarization – > resting potential Correct resting potential -> hyperpolarization-> resting potential-> resting potential resting potential –> hyperpolarization -> resting potential -> depolarization

Explanation

bioenergetics and thermodynamics analysis shows internal energy, enthalpy and pressure-volume work describe evaporation and combustion. Consequently resting potential –> depolarization-> hyperpolarization – > resting potential emerges as the valid choice since it satisfies first law and physiological energetics, aligning with established principles in physiology and thermodynamics literature.
