Anatomy - Membrane Potential and Synapses

When a neuron is not engaged in an impulse.

• Resting potential
• Action potential
• Neural potential
• Synaptic potential

Neurotransmitters are released from the

• Dendrites
• Post-synaptic neuron
• Presynaptic neuron
• Axon

In order for a neuron to have an action potential, the neuron must receive more

• excitatory neurotransmitters
• inhibitory neurotransmitters
• agnostic neurotransmitters
• antagonistic neurotransmitters

Excess neurotransmitters in the synapse that goes back into the presynaptic neuron.

• Resting potential
• Reuptake
• Retroactivity
• Repolarization

W

• Axon Terminal Button
• Neurotransmitters
• Dendrite
• Synapse

Y

• Axon Terminal Button
• Neurotransmitters
• Dendrite
• Synapse

What is the chemical used by a neuron to transmit an impulse across a synapse to another nerve cell?

• Neurotransmitters
• Synapse
• Threshold
• Impulse

-70 mV is the measure of a

• Threshold Potential
• Action Potential
• Resting Potential
• End Point Potential

The area between the pre-synaptic cell and the post-synaptic cell is termed the synaptic cleft.

• True
• False

Nerve impulses within the neuron are sent in _____ form

• Electrical
• Chemical
• Electro-chemical
• Petrochemical
