Resting Membrane Potential (RMP) When a neuron is not conducting electrical signals, it is said to be “resting.” At rest, a neuron’s membrane potential is typically maintained at about 70 mV. The membrane potential maintained by a nonconducting neuron’s plasma membrane is called the
depolarization The opening of stimulus-gated Na+ channels in response to a stimulus permits more Na+ to enter the cell. As the excess of positive ions outside the plasma membrane decreases the magnitude of the membrane potential is reduced. Such movement of the membran
hyperpolarization. Movement of the membrane potential away from zero (thus be-low the usual RMP) is called
repolarization Once the peak of the action potential is reached, the membrane potential begins to move back toward the resting potential 70mV in a process called
cerebellum The part of the brain that assists in the maintenance of balance is the:
hypothalamus The part of the brain that can directly influence or inhibit the release of hormones from the pituitary is the
choroid plexuses Cerebrospinal fluid is formed by filtration of blood in the:
Brachial Which is the only plexus that contains fibers from the thoracic region of the spinal cord?
corticotrophs The type of cells that secrete ACTH are
Ruffini corpuscles The receptors responsible for sensing crude and persistent touch are the:
crista ampullaris Dynamic equilibrium depends on the functioning of the
progesterone The major hormone produced by the corpus luteum is:
oxytocin One of the few hormones that functions on a positive-feedback loop is:

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
