Question

hyperpolarization means that the ______. membrane potential becomes more positive than the resting potential membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting potential sodium gates open potassium gates open question 24 (1 point) listen a(n) ______ is the electrical signal that typically moves from the neurons cell body down the axon to the axon terminals. depolarization

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Hyperpolarization occurs when the membrane potential of a cell becomes more negative than its resting potential. An action - potential is the electrical signal that travels from the neuron's cell body down the axon to the axon terminals. Depolarization is a different event where the membrane potential becomes more positive. Opening of sodium or potassium gates is related to ion - flow during these electrical events but is not the definition of hyperpolarization or the described electrical signal.

Answer:

  1. membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting potential
  2. action potential
