RAPID SEQUENCE OF DEPOLARIZATION AND REPOLARIZATION

45
Q

DEPOLARIZATION IS INSIDE OF MEMBRANE BECOMING ___ NEGATIVE

A

LESS

46
Q

HYPERPOLARIZATION IS INSIDE OF MEMBRANE BECOMING ___ NEGATIVE

A

A

OPEN CONSTANTLY

55
Q

GATED CHANNELS

A

OPEN AND CLOSE BASED ON SIGNALS

RETROGRADE: FROM SYNAPTIC TERMINAL TO CELL BODY

64
Q

___ SYNAPSES ARE LESS COMMON THAN ___ SYNAPSES

A

65
Q

EXCITATORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIAL

A
