According to Biologists, the hyper polarization of a dendrite by a neurotransmitter is known as an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP).

A change in the resting potential of a dendrite from -70 mV to -72 mZV is called what?

A change in the resting potential of a dendrite from -70 mV to -72 mV is called hyperpolarization. Hyperpolarization is when the membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting potential.

When the binding of a neurotransmitter to a dendrite will result in?

The binding of a neurotransmitter to a dendrite will cause one these three things to happen:excitement (stimulation)inhibition (stop activity)modulation (change activity by slowing it or increasing it)It all depends on the neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitter are means by which neurons communicate with one another. There are more than 30 compounds known to be neurotransmitters, and dozens of others are thought to be so.


when a dendrite pulls the neurotransmitter in the opposite directions its is called?

Reuptake. Reuptake is the process by which neurotransmitters are taken back up into the presynaptic neuron after being released into the synaptic cleft.


What is the name of the tiny gap the neurotransmitter has to diffuse across to reach the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron?

The tiny gap that the neurotransmitter has to diffuse across to reach the membrane of the postsynaptic neuron is called the synaptic cleft. It separates the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron from the dendrite of the postsynaptic neuron.


The branch that carries messages to the cell body is called the?

Dendrite!


Graded potentials will not be initiated by?

Graded potentials will not be initiated by hyperpolarization. Graded potentials are subthreshold changes in membrane potential that can depolarize or hyperpolarize a cell, but they are typically initiated by a stimulus, such as neurotransmitter binding or sensory input. Hyperpolarization alone may not be strong enough to reach the threshold for generating a graded potential.

What is the gap between a dendrite and an axon tip called?

The gap between a dendrite and an axon tip is called a synapse. It is a small junction where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal and received by the dendrite to transmit signals between neurons.
