Question

Describe how the following stages occur in a neuron in terms of ion movement across the cell membrane: resting potential, threshold potential, depolarization, repolarization.

Answer 1

We have two surfaces of nerve cell the outer and inner surface

- resting : when the outer layer ion charges more positively than the inner layer - depolarization : we have the counter part of this state
- repolarization : return to the polarization
- hyperpolarization : the inner negative ion charges will be more negative even more than the resting potential
