What else can I help you with?
What is The time an action potential begins until the resting potential has stabilized is?
1/2500 sec is the absolute refractory period.
What is the correct order that information passes through in a neuron?
The flow of information across nerve cells is called a nerve impulse in which the axons of the cell must depolarize, repolarize and go through a refractory period before reaching the resting potential. At this point, another impulse can occur.
When an axon is not conducting an impulse is known as?
When an axon is not conducting an impulse, it is said to be in a resting state. This is when the axon maintains a negative charge inside relative to the outside.
What do you call the state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse?
The state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse is called the resting potential. This is when the neuron is negatively charged inside compared to outside, waiting for a stimulus to change its electrical charge and initiate an action potential.
What event follows after the depolarization of a neuron?
After depolarization, the neuron undergoes repolarization, during which the cell's membrane potential returns to resting state. This is followed by hyperpolarization, where the membrane potential briefly becomes more negative than the resting state, before returning to its baseline. Finally, the neuron enters a refractory period, during which it is temporarily unable to generate another action potential.

What do you call the state of a neuron when it is firing a neural impulse?
Resting potential.

Resting potential

When an axon is not conducting an impulse, it is said to be in a resting state. This is when the axon maintains a negative charge inside relative to the outside.
What name is given to a neuron that is not sending a nervous impulse?
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.
How is a resting potential achieved in the nervous system?
The resting nerve cell is not being stimulated to send a nerve impulse
What do you call the state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse?
The state of a neuron when it is not firing a neural impulse is called the resting potential. This is when the neuron is negatively charged inside compared to outside, waiting for a stimulus to change its electrical charge and initiate an action potential.
How does threshold change during the relative refractory period?
During the relative refractory period, the threshold for excitation is increased compared to the resting threshold. This is because the membrane potential is closer to its resting state, making it more difficult to depolarize the cell and generate an action potential. It requires a stronger stimulus to overcome this increased threshold and trigger another action potential.
What is resting potential?
A rest potential is the potential difference between two sides of the membrane of nerve cells when the cell is not conducting an impulse. =)
What are the cellular events responsible for the refractory period?
During the refractory period, the inactivation of voltage-gated sodium channels prevents the generation of a new action potential. This inactivation prevents the cell from firing another action potential immediately after one has just occurred. The refractory period also allows time for the ion concentrations in the cell to return to their resting state, ensuring proper signaling.
What event follows after the depolarization of a neuron?
After depolarization, the neuron undergoes repolarization, during which the cell's membrane potential returns to resting state. This is followed by hyperpolarization, where the membrane potential briefly becomes more negative than the resting state, before returning to its baseline. Finally, the neuron enters a refractory period, during which it is temporarily unable to generate another action potential.
