Question 12 of 20

Click on the correct answer to the following question:

When a stimulus excites a nerve, the following sequence of events occurs:

  1. slow depolarization, followed by rapid depolarization, and then reversal of the electrical potential across the nerve membrane leaving the interior of the nerve electrically positive in relation to the negative exterior
  2. slow depolarization, followed by a neutralization of the interior and the exterior of the nerve
  3. rapid depolarization resulting in the nerve achieving its resting potential
