Biology - Neurons and Nerve Impulse transmission

Nerve impulse transmission refers to the ability of the neuron to...

• reproduce

• receive an chemical signal

• produce sodium or potassium

• send an electrochemical signal

A change in the external environment that initiates an impulse is known as a

• synapse

• response

• stimulus

• receptor

The voltage difference between the inside (-) and the outside (+) of the neuron in the resting state is called........

• neutral state

• active transport

• action potential

• resting membrane potential

Action potential refers to

• a very positive charge inside and outside of the neuron

• a very negative charge inside and outside of the neuron

• a change of charge between the inside and outside of the neuron

• action outside the membrane that cause the neuron's membrane to close all its pores
