In a myelinated axon, action potentials are produced
 
  a. only at the axon hillock.
 b. only at the axon hillock and at the nodes of Ranvier.
 c. along the entire length of the axon membrane.
 d. only under segments of myelin.

Question 2

Action potentials only go in one direction, away from the cell body, because
 
  a. the adjacent prior segment of axon is still at +40mV.
 b. voltage-dependent gates are limited in the frequency with which they can open.
 c. the adjacent prior segment is still in refractory period.
 d. the action potential temporarily disables the sodium-potassium pumps.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
