The cell membrane becomes more permeable to the sodium potassium ions.
When a receptor is stimulated it triggers impulses in other neurons....hope this was helpful and correct
how does a stimulant affect your nerveous system?
Only the retina has receptors that respond to light. No other receptors in the body do.
sodium gates in the cell membrane spring open
An impulse begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment.
A neuron will generate action potential when it is stimulated by a neurotransmitter.
A neuron which is excitable is in its RESTING STATE, which means that it is POLARIZED, and thus able to be stimulated into an action potential.
depolarization
It has become activated/stimulated.
An impulse begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment.
It is a neuron that is at its resting potential, not stimulated by input from other neurons.

False( When a stimulus acts on a neuron, it increases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions. )

sodium ions enter the postsynaptic neuron.
