When a neuron is polarized, usually by the influx of chloride ions into the neuron, it is incapable of creating an action potential (incapable of firing). Only when the neuron returns to a resting potential, via pumping ions back across the membrane, can it be depolarized (sodium ion influx) to generate an action potential.
What else can I help you with?
What is inside a polarized neuron?
There is electrical potential difference between out side of the cell and inside of the cell, in case of the polarized neuron. This electrical difference is lost in case of depolarization. That is what can be said roughly.
A polarized neuron has fewer positive ions inside in comparison to the outside of the neuron?
A polarized neuron has a more negative charge inside compared to the outside due to the presence of more negatively charged ions inside the neuron. This difference in charge is maintained by the activity of ion pumps and channels in the neuron's cell membrane.
When a neuron is in a resting state the majority of the particles in the fluid surrounding the neuron are?
polarized
What is the Electrical condition of a plasma membrane of a resting neuron?
The electrical condition of a plasma membrane of a resting neuron is polarized, meaning there is a voltage difference across the membrane with the inside being negatively charged compared to the outside. This resting membrane potential is typically around -70 millivolts.
What happens when a neuron becomes excitable?
When a neuron becomes excitable, it is able to generate and conduct electrical impulses known as action potentials. This excitability allows the neuron to communicate with other neurons through synaptic connections, facilitating the transmission of information within the nervous system.
What is inside a polarized neuron?
There is electrical potential difference between out side of the cell and inside of the cell, in case of the polarized neuron. This electrical difference is lost in case of depolarization. That is what can be said roughly.
What is a polarized neuron?
A neuron that is polarized is also at rest potential. At this stage it is not conducting an impulse and has sodium ions on the outside and potassium ions on the inside.
When the outside of the neuron cell is more positive than the inside the cell is .?

State of an unstimulated neuron's membrane?
An unstimulated neuron's membrane is polarized, with a negative charge inside the cell relative to the outside. This resting membrane potential is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane, particularly sodium and potassium ions. The neuron is ready to generate an action potential when stimulated.
What is an unstimulated neuron called?
a polarized neuron (at least I think that's the technically correct term)
What are the three main states of a neuron?
polarized, depolarized, repolarized
When a neuron is at rest the ions inside are mostly?
polarized
A polarized neuron has fewer positive ions inside in comparison to the outside of the neuron?
A polarized neuron has a more negative charge inside compared to the outside due to the presence of more negatively charged ions inside the neuron. This difference in charge is maintained by the activity of ion pumps and channels in the neuron's cell membrane.
What name is given to a neuron that is not sending a nervous impulse?
A neuron that is not sending a nervous impulse is typically referred to as a resting neuron. In its resting state, the neuron is polarized with a negative internal charge.
A charge difference between the interior of the neuron axon and the exterior exist when the neurons is?
polarized
When a neuron is in a resting state the majority of the particles in the fluid surrounding the neuron are?
polarized
What is the Electrical condition of a plasma membrane of a resting neuron?
The electrical condition of a plasma membrane of a resting neuron is polarized, meaning there is a voltage difference across the membrane with the inside being negatively charged compared to the outside. This resting membrane potential is typically around -70 millivolts.
