Receptor potential or generator potential.
an action potential moves along the neuron
Potential energy
postsynaptic potential (PSP)
receptor or generator potential
resting potiental
-70mV
It is a neuron that is at its resting potential, not stimulated by input from other neurons.
exhibit a resting potential that is more negative than the "threshold" potential
exhibit a resting potential that is more negative than the "threshold" potential.

The resting membrane potential of a typical neuron is around -65mV
Yes,the membrane potential of a neuron is at rest because it is the difference in electrical charge between inside and outside a resting neuron.
It is -70 millivolts. The resting potential of a neuron refers to the voltage difference across the plasma membrane of the cell, and is expressed as the voltage inside the membrane relative to the voltage outside the membrane. The typical resting potential voltage for a neuron is -70mV Resting potentials occur because of the difference in concentration of ions inside and outside of the cell, largely by K+ (Potassium ions) but some contribution is made by Na+(Sodium ions)
