What does the electrical charge on the inside of the axon become when depolarization occurs?

During depolarization, sodium ions rush into the axon, making the inside negative, and the outside positive.

Why does SO electrical cord have paper inside it?
why is there string or paper in electrical cords
When did you observed that the air inside seemed to become foggy?

What happens when potassium (K ) leaves the neuron?
As potassium leaves the neuron, the inside of the cell will become progressively more negative, which will attract the positive potassium ions, preventing further exodus. If this electrical force is great enough, it will actually draw potassium ions from the outside of the cell back inside.
What is smaller in terms of size than an atom?
Subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. Subatomic particles are found inside the nucleus of an atom and include protons, neutrons, quarks, and gluons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge while neutrons carry a neutral charge. Inside these protons and neutrons are quarks which are held together by gluons. (1 atom = 0.000000001 meters while 1 quark = 0.000000000000000001 meters) The smallest known particle, however, that has mass is the neutrino.
What is inside cells contain DNA and become darkly colored when stained?
chromosomes
How is the electrical charge inside the neuron?
Neurons send messages electrochemically and all chemicals in the body are electrically-charged. When neurons inside the body are electrically-charged, they are called ions. When a neuron is at rest, or not electrically-charged, the inside is negative and the outside is positive.
When a positive charge is applied to the inside of an axon what is the effect is called?
Depolarization.
What causes the inside of the membrane to reverse charge and begin action potential?
Depolarization
How there can be electrical charge inside matter even if the matter shows no electrical forces?
How can there be electrical charge inside matter even if the matter shows no electrical forces
Lacking electrical charge?
The neutron, a subatomic particle inside the nucleus of an atom, does not have a charge.
How does the substance inside a fluorescent tube change with an electrical charge?
the electrical charge excites the atoms and creates a plasma state that emits light
What lacking electrical charge?
The neutron, a subatomic particle inside the nucleus of an atom, does not have a charge.
What ammo is inside a taser?
The 'ammo' is the electrical charge that zaps your attacker.
Does algae have a electrical charge?
It does if there is electrical charge going through the water and going into the algae and then the algae traps the electricity inside of it unless there is a break in the algae.
What is inside a polarized neuron?
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.
Explain how a neuron enter a state of depolarization?
At rest, a neuron is highly polarized -- a significant electrical charge difference exists between the inside and the outside (poles) of the cell. This polarity is what allows the cell to quickly respond to triggering events and do work, similar to the charge in a battery. A neuron de-polarizes when something reduces that charge difference, typically when pores in the cell membrane are unblocked, allowing charged ions to flow. Technically, a reduction of even a single electron of polar charge is a "depolarization". This can occur by dozens of mechanisms. However, the usual process is: (1) a neuron is polarized, (2) an electrical signal traveling inside the neuron changes the internal membrane charge just enough to cause voltage-sensitive pores to open, which (3) allows a massive influx of charged ions from outside the cell. This now depolarized cell recovers its resting polarity quickly through a reverse flow of electrons and via ion pumps in the membrane.
What is the electrical charge inside and outside the cell?
The inside of a typical cell is posotive in respect to the outside. I got this out of my Biology book.
