Answer:

The charges inside and outside of the neuron before receiving a stimulus are negative and positive, respectively, which corresponds to the transmembrane rest potential.

Explanation:

Neuron is the specialized cell of the nervous system in charge of transmitting electrical impulses. The generation of a nerve impulse in the form of an electric current is due to a change in the transmembrane potential.

<u>Outside the neuron cell, electrical charges are predominantly positive, and the ion with the highest concentration is sodium. In the intracellular space, a great quantity of proteins provide negative charge, and there is a predominance of potassium ions</u>. Under these conditions, the ionic channels are closed.

For this reason, a neuron at rest, before receiving a stimulus, presents positive charges on the outside and negative charges on the inside, and the membrane potential in this condition is estimated at a value of -65 mV.

Once a stimulus is produced, the ionic channels open and Na+ ions enter the cytoplasm, exchanging them for K+, which implies a change in the membrane potential which, on reaching the threshold, produces an action potential and the nerve impulse is produced.

Where in the neuron is an action potential initially generated?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Terms in this set (15) Where in the neuron is an action potential initially generated? Axon hillock. this region (first part of the axon) receives local signals (graded potentials) from the soma and dendrites and has a high concentration of voltage-gated Na+ channels.

Which sentence describes energy flow through a natural (not manufactured) system?
Bezzdna [24]

The correct option is this: A STRONG WIND BLOW ACROSS A MIDWESTERN PRAIRIE.

A strong wind is an example of a natural force. The prairie refers to a land fill with grasses and that is a natural factor also. Thus, a strong wind that is blowing across a prairie is generating a natural form of energy. The energy flow in the other options given are examples of man made devices.
