Nerve Impulses

Chief positive intracellular ion of a resting neuron

Describes the electrical condition of the plasma membrane of a resting neuron

Period after repolarization during which the neuron cannot respond to a second stimulus

Period during which the resting potential is reversed as sodium rushes into the neuron

Period during which potassium diffuses out of the neuron

Period that results in a + charge on the outside of the membrane

Requires ATP energy (Active Transport)

Structure which conducts Na+ out if the cell and K+ back into the cell, completely restoring resting conditions of the neuron

Transmission of the depolarization wave along the neuron's membrane
