1
Q
Resting Potential
A
Potential Energy of Neuron (Polarized)
2
Q
Polarized
A
Sodium (Na+) Outside, Potassium (K-) Inside
3
Q
Depolarized
A
Sodium (Na+) Inside, Potassium (K-) Outside
4
Q
Resting Potential is achieved through…
A
Active Transport Using The Na+/K+ Pump
5
Q
Action Potential
A
Electric Stimulus, Conducts Nerve Impulses (Depolarized)
6
Q
Repolarized
A
Depolarized -> Polarized
7
Q
Unmyelinated
A
Slower, Each Axon has to be Stimulated
8
Q
Myelinated
A
Faster, Jumps over Myelin to Next Node
