Question

Complete the following statements.At resting potential, the charge of the outside of the neuron is ________ and the inside is ___________. . The sodium-potassium pump helps maintain the resting potential. The pump will move three _________ ions out of the cell while it moves two ___________ ions into the cell. Once a stimulus changes the membrane potential, the neuron conducts an impulse called a(n) ______________ . This causes the charge outside the cell to temporarily become ________ and the inside to temporarily become ___________ . When the action potential arrives at the axon terminal it reaches a junction called the _______________ Because the nerve impulse cannot cross the synaptic cleft, _______________ are released.
