The trigger zone of a neuron is: That part of a neuron that initiates reflex activity. A specific area of the axolemma also known as the neural end plate. That portion of the neuron that stimulates an effector organ. That place on the neuronal membrane where action potentials un ually begin. Capable of graded potentials (responses that vary in size and intensity).
