The term for the minimum voltage that must be reached to trigger an action potential is:

A Resting potential
B Threshold potential
C Graded potential
D Absolute refractory period

Correct answer: B. Threshold potential

Explanation: Threshold potential (around -55 mV): minimum depolarization needed to trigger an action potential. Below threshold, impulse does not occur.

Concept context

Brain, spinal cord, neurons, reflex arcs, and sense organs.
