Resting Stage
When a neuron is in a resting state there is more of this ion on the Extracellular Fluid (ECF).
What is Na+?
When a neuron is toward the end of the depolarizing stage, this is the approximate voltage of the neuron.
What is +30 mV?
This is the term used when a neuron is in the repolarizing stage and the voltage goes past -70mV.
What is an Overshoot?
When a neuron is in the Reset Phase this ion is being pumped to the outside of the cell.
How many are being pumped across?
What is Na+?
What is 3?
When a neuron is in a resting state there is more of this ion on the Intracellular Fluid (ICF).
What is K+?
This is the voltage that must be reached in order for an action potential to be triggered.
What is -55 mV?
When a neuron is in a Repolarizing stage this is the ion that moves out of the cell.
What is K+?
When a neuron is in the Reset Phase this ion is being pumped to the inside of the cell.
How many are being pumped across?
What is K+?
What is 2?
When a neuron is in a resting state this is the approximate voltage of the ICF of the neuron.
What is -70 mV?
When a neuron is in a Depolarizing stage this is the ion that moves into the cell.
What is Na+?
During the Repolarizing Stage describe the net charge in the ECF vs. ICF.
What is the ECF is +/- (neutral) and the ICF is +/- (neutral)?
This is the charge of the ECF when the neuron is in the Reset Phase.
What is +?
During the resting state describe the net charge in the ECF vs. ICF.
What is the ECF is + and the ICF is -?
During the Depolarizing Stage describe the net charge in the ECF vs. ICF.
What is the ECF is - and the ICF is +?
What would happen if the neuron’s resting membrane potential was never reset? How would this impact the nervous system’s ability to function?
Inability to function.
The neuron would stay in a "stuck" state and would be unable to fire more action potentials to other neurons. (Paralysis and/or loss of sensory perception)
This is the charge of the ICF when the neuron is in the Reset Phase.
What is -?
This is the charge that the Reset Phase is attempting to return the neuron to.
What is -70 mV?
