Questions and Answers

What is the resting membrane potential of a neuron that is not transmitting any signal?

  • -50 mV
  • -60 mV
  • -80 mV
  • -70 mV (correct)

    • What happens when a stimulus causes a depolarization in an axon?

  • The closing of voltage-gated membrane ion channels
  • The generation of an action potential (correct)
