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 happens when a neuron is polarized?

When a neuron is polarized, there is a difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of the cell. This difference in charge is created by an uneven distribution of ions across the cell membrane. This polarization allows the neuron to generate and transmit electrical signals.


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.


A charge difference between the interior of the neuron axon and the exterior exists when the neuron is?

When the neuron is at rest, a charge difference known as the resting membrane potential exists between the interior and exterior of the axon. This potential is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane, with more negative ions inside the cell compared to the outside.

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.

When the outside of the neuron cell is more positive than the inside the cell is?

When the outside of the neuron cell is more positive than the inside, the cell is in a state of depolarization. This shift in electrical charge can trigger an action potential, leading to the propagation of nerve impulses along the neuron.

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.
