| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the membrane potential of a nonconducting neuron called? | Resting membrane potential at 70 MV |
| What is the most permeable ion across a neural membrane at rest? | Potassium |
| What opens the voltage gated and a channels during an action potential? | The threshold potential 55 Mv |
| At what point can no new action potential be generated? | Absolute refractory. |
| What pumps ions against their concentration gradient and restores resting potential? | Sodium potassium pump |
| In the postsynaptic neuron, what does excitatory neurotransmitters do? | They cause depolarization and initiate action potential |
| When action potential jump from note to node what type of conduction occurs? | Salatory conduction, (jumping) |
| What is the synaptic cleft? | It is a tiny gap between neurons at the synapse. |
| Chemical molecules allow neurons to communicate across the synapses? | Neurotransmitters |
| What neurotransmitter class includes dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine? | Catecholamines (amine neurotransmitter) |
