An electrical impulse moving down an axon is called?
This is called action potential. Action potential is the change in electrical potential that occurs between the inside and outside of a nerve or muscle fiber when it is stimulated, serving to transmit nerve signals.
Conduction along a myelinated axon is called?
It is called saltatory conduction. This describes the "jumping" of an action potential from node to node on a myelinated axon.
Are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
What is the small change in the charge across a neuron's membrane called?
Action Potential
Why is the term action potential used to describe a nerve impulse?
It is a difference in charge supplied by ion position. In resting potential the tendency is for the inside of the cell membrane to have a negative ionic charge, while the outside of the membrane has a positive charge. The change, back and forth in these two charge potentials is the conduction of charge down the neuron and is called the action potential.

Also called a nerve impulse transmitted by axons?
action potential
What is the action of the spacecraft leaving the earth called?
escape velocity if its leaving earths gravity
What is the interval called during which a neuron is dormant after an action potential has been completed?
Resting potential
A series of similar stimuli that increases change in local membrane potential is called?
Action potential
Conduction along a myelinated axon is called?
It is called saltatory conduction. This describes the "jumping" of an action potential from node to node on a myelinated axon.
For a brief time after an action potential begins a muscle fiber or neuron cannot generate another action potential This time is called the?
five second silence
What are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
Are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
When a stimulus is sufficiently great enough to change the membrane potential and propagate an action potential it is called?
recruitement
The abrupt shift in the charge of a neuron from a negative to a positive charge is known as?
It is probably called as action potential.
What is the small change in the charge across a neuron's membrane called?
Action Potential
