When Substance Y is applied the cell, the cell functions normally at first, but as time goes on, action potential amplitude gradually decreases, and the resting potential gradually becomes less negative. If the cell is driven to spike more, both of these effects occur more rapidly. What part of the neuron might this substance be affecting/attacking

Respuesta :

Answer:

Dendrites.

Explanation:

Dendrites is the part of neuron which is affected by the substance Y which leads to the decrease of action potential because dendrites is the part that  obtain information from other cells and carry that information to the cell body of neuron which transfer this information to the neighboring neurons. If the dendrites is damaged or adversely affected due to chemicals then it is unable to perform its function properly and its action potential will be greatly affected.
