The sodium- potassium pump pump moving Na+ ions out and K+ ions in
The axon terminals of a neuron form the presynaptic neuronal membrane. These structures contain synaptic vesicles that store neurotransmitters for release at the synapse.
During action potential transmission, the signal is carried along the neuronal membrane by the movement of ions such as sodium and potassium across the membrane. This movement creates changes in the membrane potential, allowing the signal to travel down the length of the neuron.
If the voltage across a neuronal membrane is set to -20 mV, this would be closer to the threshold potential for neuron firing, leading to an increased likelihood of the neuron generating an action potential. At this level, the neuron is closer to depolarization and may be more excitable compared to when the membrane potential is at resting potential.
The neuronal membrane also has ion channels for other ions besides potassium, such as sodium or chloride, that can influence the resting membrane potential. These other ions contribute to the overall equilibrium potential of the neuron, which affects its resting membrane potential. Additionally, the activity of Na+/K+ pumps helps establish and maintain the resting membrane potential, contributing to the slight difference from the potassium equilibrium potential.
Clusters of neuronal cell bodies and dendrites in the brain are called nuclei.

Action potential is the term for an electrical change in the neuronal membrane transmitted along an axon. The axon is part of a nerve cell that conducts impulses.
Hyperpolarization of a neuronal membrane is caused by an increase in the negative charge inside the cell, usually due to the efflux of positively charged ions or influx of negatively charged ions.
The opening of sodium voltage-gated channels in the neuronal membrane is caused by changes in the electrical charge across the membrane, known as membrane potential. When the membrane potential reaches a certain threshold, the channels open, allowing sodium ions to flow into the neuron and generate an action potential.

Voltage-gated Na channels open during neuronal signaling when the membrane potential reaches a certain threshold level.
Voltage-gated sodium channels open when the membrane potential reaches a certain threshold during the depolarization phase of neuronal signaling.

Opening sodium channels in the axon membrane allows sodium ions to flow into the cell, depolarizing the membrane and generating an action potential. This action potential then travels down the axon to facilitate neuronal communication and signal transmission.
The cell membrane of a neuron is called the "neuronal membrane" or "plasma membrane." It separates the interior of the neuron from the external environment and helps regulate the movement of ions and molecules in and out of the cell.
