| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| resting neuron | polarization |
| neuron is positively charged inside | depolarization |
| neuron is negatively charged inside | polarization |
| transmits impulse | depolarization |
| membrane becomes impermeable to sodium | repolarization |
| restores polarization | repolarization |
| stimulus causes membrane to become permeable to sodium | depolarization |
| referred to as the action potential | depolarization |
| sodium/potassium pump restores initial concentrations | repolarization |
| potassium ions diffuse out of neuron, owing to change in permeability | polarization |
| reversal of resting potential, due to influx of sodium ions | depolarization |
