No. The inside of the neuron becomes more positively charged.
The resting potential is -70 millivolts. So, the outside of the neuron starts off being more positively-charged, and the inside is more negatively-charged.
As sodium ions (which are cations - positively-charged ions) move into the neuron (via sodium ion channels), this depolarizes the neuron (induces a "signal"). If this net signal is above a certain threshold, it will trigger an action potential, whereby channels will open in the axon, just ahead of the action potential itself, which allows more cations to flow into the axon, increasing the positive charge inside the axon, and further triggering the opening of cation channels downstream.
Note: As the action potential (positively-charged region inside an axon) propagates down the axon, sodium channels open behind it to pump sodium ions back outside the axon, restoring the inner negative charge of that region, so that it can return to the resting potential. Therefore, once the action potential is formed inside the axon, and is moving downstream, sodium pumps open behind it so that the signal is dampened in an already-activated region, thereby restoring the resting potential. This prevents retriggering a secondary action potential (which would result in amplification of the end signal).
On the other hand, when an inhibitory neurotransmitter binds with the neuron, or else a chloride ion channel (chloride ions are anionic - negatively-charged) opens, chloride ions enter the neuron, which drives the membrane potential further into the negative, thereby reducing the likelihood of action potential (signal) generation.
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
An electrical impulse will travel through a neuron.
The message that travels through a neuron is an electrical impulse called an action potential. It is generated when the neuron is stimulated and travels along the neuron's axon, facilitated by the movement of charged ions. This ultimately allows the neuron to communicate with other neurons or target cells.
No. Three sodium ions are pumped out of the neuron by the sodium-potassium pump and two potassium ions enter the cell. This way you maintain a slightly negative charge just inside the cell membrane.
Neurotransmitters in a neuron allow a nerve impulse to be transmitted from one neuron to another by crossing the synapse and binding to receptors on the receiving neuron. This triggers an electrical or chemical signal to continue the nerve impulse along the neural pathway.
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.
it is neuron impulse
The impulse has to cross over a synapse to another neuron or an effector.
If a neuron is not sending out an impulse or signal, this means the neuron is at rest. Neurons send signals electrochemically.
It is probably called as action potential.

A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move
