That means that something is at rest, i.e., not moving.
When cardiac cells are in a resting and negatively charged state, this is known as the resting membrane potential. This resting state allows the cells to be ready to receive and transmit electrical signals for proper heart function.
dormant
It is dormant.
negative at a resting value of -70mV
Maintenance of a polarized state of a resting nerve is achieved through continuous expenditure of energy.
Replete and resting
a cramp
No, the polarized state is not the same as the resting state. The polarized state refers to the condition of a neuron when it is ready to fire an action potential, characterized by a difference in electrical charge across the membrane, primarily due to the distribution of ions (like sodium and potassium). The resting state, on the other hand, is a specific type of polarized state where the neuron is not actively sending signals, maintaining a stable negative internal charge relative to the outside. Both states involve polarization, but the resting state is a stable and inactive condition, while the polarized state can be dynamic and ready for activation.
HIBERNATION
Yes, when an electron returns to its resting state it can release energy in the form of a photon. This process is known as emission of light.
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.
