The cell membrane becomes more permeable to the sodium potassium ions.

∙ 15y agoArtificially, this can be achieved by inserting a tiny glass electrode into the soma (cell body). This is called 'patch-clamping'. Another way is to use extracellular electrodes, which would stimulate all parts of the neuron that express voltage-sensitive channels.
Natural neuron-neuron (synaptic) communication usually takes place between the axon terminal of one neuron and a point within the dendritic tree of another neuron. Of course axon to somal communication also occurs, but is less common and axon to dendritic.

What is an unstimulated neuron?
It is a neuron that is at its resting potential, not stimulated by input from other neurons.
A neuron will generate action potentials when it?
A neuron will generate action potential when it is stimulated by a neurotransmitter.
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.
What are the sources of stimulation that start a nerve impulse?
An impulse begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment.
What does it mean by a neuron is highly irritable?
irritability (ability to be stimulated)
What is mean by a neuron is highly irritable?
irritability (ability to be stimulated)
When a stimulus acts on a neuron it decreases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions?
False( When a stimulus acts on a neuron, it increases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions. )
How is a skeletal muscle fiber stimulated by a motor neuron?
motor unitUnit
When the neuron is sussiciently stimulated this process and triggers the action potential?
depolarization
A neuron that is excited to subthreshold is said to be?
It has become activated/stimulated.
When cholinergic receptors are stimulated they?
sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron.
When the neuron is sufficiently stimulated this process occurs and triggers the action potential?
depolarization
