Action Potential Flashcards
1
Q
When is the neuron negatively charged inside?
A
At rest
2
Q
What happens when the neuron is stimulated?
A
Ions enter and leave
3
Q
What voltage does the action potential begin?
A
-55mv
4
Q
What happens at +35/40mv
A
Action potential fires and signal propagates
5
Q
What happens at repolarisation?
A
Ions switch and becomes negative inside
6
Q
What is hyperpolarisation?
A
Extra negative during refractory period before going back to resting state
