Answer to Question #192068 in Cell Biology for becks

Question

explain nerve impulse in terms of resting potential, action potential, hyperpolarisation and synaptic tranfer.

Answer 1

The resting potential tells about what happens when a neuron is at rest. An action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon, away from the cell body.When the depolarization reaches about -55 mV a neuron will fire an action potential.
