action potential resting potential refractory period threshold period
I gave my students this multiple choice question: Neurons respond to stimuli and transmit impulses to coordinate body functions. Which of these indicates the rapid change in the membrane potential when a neuron is stimulated?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- action potential
- resting potential
- refractory period
- threshold period

Could you tell me which one is correct?

action potential
