🗑
Axons terminate in a series of fine extensions known as   telodendria  
🗑
The site of intercellular communication between neurons is the   Synapse

Which of the following is not involved in creating the resting potential of a neuron?   membrane permeability for sodium ions greater than potassium ions  
🗑
Which of the following interactions between electrical and chemical gradients does not lead to the establishment of a neurons resting potential?   Electrical forces push sodium ions out of the cell  
🗑
