Question
For each FALSE statement, explain why it is incorrect.

Transcribed Image Text:An action potential is something that only occurs at synapses.
Afferent pathways send sensory information to the CNS for processing.
When they are at rest, neurons are more positively charged inside than outside
the cell.
FALSE
Action potentials originate at the axon terminal and move towards the dendrites.
An action potential travels down the length of the neuron with the help of
voltage-gated calcium channels.
Neurons can only have one action potential and must be recycled by glia once
they have depolarized.
At axon terminals, calcium influx stimulates vesicle release.
Ligand-gated ion channels open in response to a molecule binding to them.
