What is an unstimulated neuron?

An unstimulated neuron is a nerve cell that is not currently transmitting signals. It is in a resting state, with a stable membrane potential, and is not actively firing action potentials or sending messages to other neurons.


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.


Is unstimulated a word?

Yes.


What chemicals are used to transmit impulses through the neurons?

the transmission of a nerve impulse along a neuron from one end to the other occurs as a result of chemical changes across the membrane of the neuron. The membrane of an unstimulated neuron is polarized that is there is a difference in electrical.


Why is a neuron called an interneuron?

A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move


What is the first motor neuron in an autonomic pathway called?

The first motor neuron in an autonomic pathway is called a preganglionic neuron. It originates in the central nervous system and synapses with a postganglionic neuron in an autonomic ganglion.


What kind of animal cell is called a neuron?

A neuron is a nerve cell.


Which animal cell is sometimes called a neuron?

a neuron is a nerve cell


What is a neuron that relays its message to another neuron across a junction called a?

A neuron that relays its message to another neuron across a junction is called a presynaptic neuron. This neuron releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, facilitating the transmission of the signal. The junction between the two neurons is known as the synapse.


What is the opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron known as?

The opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron is called a synapse. At the synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to transmit the signal.


What type of neuron carries a message from one neuron to another?

It is called an Interneuron


What connects sensory to motor neuron?

Interneurons(also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) are multipolar neurons that connects sensory neurons to motor neurons.
