Where is the higher concentration of pottasium (K+) found?

If the membrane potential becomes more negative than  -70 mV (resting), it is known as:

How does the neuron code for the strength of stimuli?

Match the type of neuron with the appropriate description

In the resting cell, the “force” that pushes K+  out of the cell is  ______, while the “force” that tends to pull K+ back into the cell is  ______.

Which of the following is NOT a key concept about ligand-gated ion channels?

Activity 7:  Which fibers generate the smallest value for conduction velocity?

If a single neuron is stimulated with less than its threshold potential, the action potential:

Put the events that occur during an action potential in the proper order.  Start with: The membrane reaches the threshold voltage. 

Match the following parts of the neuron and their function.
