Which of the Following Characteristics are Associated with Graded Potentials

Question

Which of the following characteristics are associated with graded potentials?
A) They exhibit an "all-or-none" character.
B) Their magnitude is related to the intensity of the stimulus that elicits them.
C) They spread by active conductance.
D) They occur only in axons.

Accepted Answer

Graded potentials vary in magnitude depending on the strength of the stimulus, unlike action potentials which follow an "all-or-none" principle. They can occur in various parts of neurons, including dendrites and cell bodies, not just axons, and they spread passively, not by active conductance.
