Sure! Here’s how to fill in the blanks based on the function of unmyelinated axons and the process of action potential propagation:
An unmyelinated axon has voltage-gated ion gates along its entire **length**. An action potential at the **axon hillock** zone causes sodium to diffuse into the cell. This results in membrane **depolarization**. The depolarization causes a **local current** that excites the entire membrane. This continues until the traveling signal reaches the end of the **axon**.
