Which of the following is TRUE about propagated nerve action potential?
Decremental
Not affected by hypoxia
Fastest in C fibers
Not affected by membrane capacitance
Acute and chronic hypoxias are associated with reduced nerve conduction velocity, neuronal action potential generation and axonal transport. In the central neurons, the reduction of nerve cell excitability in hypoxia is primarily because of increased K+ conductance. So, hypoxia also affects action potential. But compared to other statements, its can be the answer.
