MCQs on Neurons Nerve Impulse

Electric changes across the neurotic membrane is the reason why nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another. Polarization of the membrane of an unstimulated neuron takes place, in simpler words a difference in the electrical charges between the exterior and the interior of the membranes takes place. Where the interior is negative in charge compared to the exterior. The initiation of an impulse to the resetting of a neuron in order to prepare the neuron for a second stimulation can be carried out in these following four steps –

  • Action potential.
  • Repolarization.
  • Hyperpolarization
  • Refractory period.
