Nerve conduction - electrical potentials

Question 1

The inside of an axon has what charge relative to the outside called, what?

Answer 1

70mV at resting potential or membrane potential

Question 2

Positively charged electrical stimulation on the inside of the axon does what?

Answer 2

depolarizes the membrane - takes away some of the charge difference across the membrane

Question 3

Types of threshold…

Answer 3

Sub-threshold and threshold stim; action potential with threshold stim

Question 4

To understand what makes an action potential occur you must first, what?

Answer 4

Understand what maintains resting potential
