What is an unstimulated neuron?
It is a neuron that is at its resting potential, not stimulated by input from other neurons.
If a resting neuron is stimulated and there is an inward flow of positive charges into the cell the membrane potential will?
move upward away from the resting potential and closer to zero
What happens when a neuron becomes excitable?
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.
When a neuron's resting potential is occurring the neuron is what charge on the inside?
resting potiental
What is the chief positive intracellular ion in a resting neuron?
The chief positive intracellular ion in a resting neuron is a potassium ion. Just inside the cell of a resting neuron, the membrane is negative.
A neuron will generate action potentials when it?
A neuron will generate action potential when it is stimulated by a neurotransmitter.
Does a resting neuron have cytoplasm?
Yes. :)
What happens when the section of the resting neuron is stimulated?
Irrespective of what the stimuli entails, the probability that the neuron will fire will be changed by its input. For instance, if the sum of all the inputs at a given time produce local membrane hyperpolarization, then there will a reduced probability that the neuron will fire an action potential. And vice versa. In other words, the action potential frequency is the only outcome that is possible. However, the value of this frequency can be anywhere from 0-20 cycles per second for most neurons.
What event follows after the depolarization of a neuron?
A rapid return to the neuron's resting state
A resting neuron is when?
A neuron is at rest when theinside is negatively chraged compared to the outside.
When a neuron is resting the inside of the cell membrane is?
When a neuron is resting then inside of the cell membrane is more negative than outside.
What is the difference between the pH of the resting saliva and the stimulated saliva?
Stimulated Saliva is more basic.....
