Best Answer

The AV (atrioventricular node).  Electrical conduction is slowed down at this node, and half the time of each action potential is spent on getting the signal through the AV node.  This delay is to allow the ventricles to fill completely with blood before they get the signal to contract.

Which part of the neuron can propagate an action potential?

The axon is the part of the neuron that can propagate an action potential. This process relies on the opening and closing of ion channels along the axon membrane to allow the action potential to travel from the cell body to the axon terminals.

Which part of the neuron is capable of generating an action potiental?

The axon hillock is the part of the neuron that is capable of generating an action potential. It integrates incoming signals from the dendrites and, if the threshold is reached, triggers the action potential to be propagated down the axon.


During depolarization of action potential the outer part of axon becomes?

Negative


Where does an action potential start?

Action potentials are generated on a part of the neuron called the 'axon hillock' - the proximal most portion of the axon.

What is the longest part of the cell part?

the longest part of the cell cycle is Interphase


What part of the neuron can conduct an action potential?

The axon of a neuron is responsible for conducting an action potential. This is made possible by the presence of voltage-gated ion channels along the axon membrane that allow for the propagation of electrical signals.


What the longest part of the cell cycle?

The interphase is the longest.
