Complete the following statements. At resting potential, the charge of the outside of the neuron is
and the inside is
.
The sodium-potassium pump helps maintain the resting potential.
The pump will move three
ions out of the cell while it moves two
ions into the cell.
Once a stimulus changes the membrane potential, the neuron conducts an impulse called a(n)
.
This causes the charge outside the cell to temporarily become
and
the inside to temporarily become
.
When the action potential arrives at the axon terminal it reaches a junction called the
Because the nerve impulse cannot cross the synaptic cleft,
are released.
