Arrange these action potential events in their proper sequence: 1) threshold voltage is reached 2) K+ gates begin to open 3) membrane is depolarised 4) Na+ gates begin to open 5) membrane repolarization begins
4, 3, 2, 1, 5
1, 2, 4, 3, 5
4, 2, 1, 5, 3
1, 4, 3, 2, 5
The action potential is measured in millivolts (mV) and is ranged fromThe action potential is measured in millivolts (mV) and is ranged from
-30mV to +60mV
-90mV to +20mV
-70mV to +30mV
-65mV to +40mV
A neuron undergoes repolarisation (i.e. The downward swing of a measured action potential) when
Potassium ions move into the axon
Sodium ions move into the axon
Potassium ions move out of the axon
Sodium ions move out of the axon
A refractory period is
Is a reverse impulse that resets the sodium and potassium balance
The same as the resting potential
The period during which potassium and sodium ions are completely stable
A brief time when a neuron is unable to conduct an impulse
Action Potentials
Are all-or-nothing events
Are summable
Are amplifiable
Result from facilitated diffusion
What occurs sequentially when the nerve impulse is transmitted from the synapse of one neuron to the postsynaptic neuron?
The nerve impulse is transmitted to the postsynaptic neuron by a direct connection between the two.
The synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis
The nerve impulse is transmitted to the axon of the postsynaptic neuron
The nerve impulse is transmitted next to the axon of the presynaptic neuron
Transmission across a synapse is achieved mainly by a________
Physical contact of axon to dendrite allowing the nerve impulse to continue onward
Diffusion of sodium ions across the cleft
Diffusion of neurotransmitter across the synaptic cleft
Ionic bonding

Postsynaptic
Cell body
Presynaptic
Axonal
