W-7 Never Signaling
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the three main phases of action potential ? (NAME THEM IN ORDER) | depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization |
| What happens during depolarization? | sodium ion channel open, sodium ion move inside, polarity become more positive |
| what needs to reached before action potential could happen? | threshold potential is reached |
| when does repolarzation happen? | postassium ion channel open, potassium move outside the cell, polarity move back down. |
| what type of response is action potential? | all-or-none response |
| what is RMP and what is its typical value? | resting membrane potential, aorund - 70mV |
| why are local potential considered graded potentials? | Because the magniude of the deviation from RMP is propotional to the mangnitude of the stimulus. |
| what happens when too much potassium ions moce out of the cell ? | hyperpolarization |
| what is a synapse? | Synapse is the place where signals are transmitted from one neuron to another. |
| What are the two types of synapses? | 1. Electrical Synapse 2 Chemical Synapse |
