What is the interval called during which a neuron is dormant after an action potential has been completed?
Resting potential
A neuron will generate action potentials when it?
A neuron will generate action potential when it is stimulated by a neurotransmitter.
What is the response if you increase the stimulus intensity past the threshold level for a neuron?
Try increases dramatically......
The start of an action potential?
An action potential starts when sodium channels in a neuron end open and sodium ions rush is, depolarizing the neuron's membrane.
The action potential is generated when a stimulus?
When a stimulus stimulates a neuron above the threshold, the action potential is generated.
A brief change in electrical voltage in the neuron in response to stimulation is called what?
an action potential
Response of a motor unit to a single action potential of it motor neuron is called?
muscle twitch
What is the interval called during which a neuron is dormant after an action potential has been completed?
Resting potential
What is the small change in the charge across a neuron's membrane called?
Action Potential
When you touch something hot a neuron in your fingers senses the temperature which best decscribes the first reaction the neuron has?
Ions flow into the neuron. An action potential forms moves along the neuron. A response occurs, here, an aversion response... your body pulls your hand and finger away.
A neuron will generate action potentials when it?
A neuron will generate action potential when it is stimulated by a neurotransmitter.
What is the response if you increase the stimulus intensity past the threshold level for a neuron?
Try increases dramatically......
When neuron stimulated enough it?
When a neuron is stimulated enough, it reaches its threshold potential and fires an action potential. This action potential travels down the axon of the neuron, allowing for the communication of signals to other neurons or cells.
For a brief time after an action potential begins a muscle fiber or neuron cannot generate another action potential This time is called the?
five second silence
What cell that generates action potential?
neuron
The start of an action potential?
An action potential starts when sodium channels in a neuron end open and sodium ions rush is, depolarizing the neuron's membrane.
The abrupt shift in the charge of a neuron from a negative to a positive charge is known as?
It is probably called as action potential.
