When repolarization of a neuron is complete, the
A) neuron dies.
B) neuron regenerates.
C) cell no longer has a potential difference across its membrane.
D) original polarity of the neuron is restored.
E) neuron is no longer excitable.
Repolarization
The process by which a neuron or muscle cell returns to its resting negative charge after depolarization.
Neuron Polarity
The structural and functional difference between the axon and dendrites of a neuron, which determines the direction of nerve impulse transmission.
Potential Difference
The difference in electric potential energy per unit charge between two points in a circuit.
- Comprehend the principle of resting membrane potential, including its formation and maintenance.
- Clarify the workings and qualities of action potentials, focusing on their phases (depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization) and the idea of the all-or-none principle.
