Action Potentials in Neurons

What is the term used to describe a neuron with a negative membrane potential?

Which ion occupies a higher proportion in the inner membrane of a neuron?

What type of ion channels open due to the physical stretching or deformation of the membrane?

What does the sodium-potassium pump do to establish an electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane?

What is a 'graded' potential that is not sufficient to propagate along the axon?

What does the resting membrane potential of a neuron typically measure at?

In what state is a neuron when it possesses a negative membrane potential?

At what membrane potential do voltage-gated sodium channels typically open, leading to a rapid influx of sodium ions?

During the peak phase of an action potential, what contributes to a further influx of sodium ions?

What process helps balance the membrane potential by allowing potassium ions to exit the neuron?
