This is a biology question I had on a past quiz. I got it wrong. I know what the correct answer is now, but I don't understand why it is right. Can someoen please help me? Here is the question:
If a motor neuron in the body were stimulated by an electrode placed about midpoint along the length of the axon_________. (Answer: D. the impulse would move to the axon terminal only.) The other choices were A. muscle contraction would occur. B. the impulse would spread bidirectionally. or C. the impluse would move to the axon terminal only, and the muscle contraction would occur. I chose A. I wasn't really sure of the answer, so I guessed. Can you help me understand why D is the correct answer? I appreciate your help! :)
