not active but ready, negative charge (NaK)

2
New cards

Action Potential

When the neurons fire, electrical change, ready to travel down the axon

3
New cards

Threshold

When at rest, once reaching the right amount of neurotransmitters, it will go into the action potential

4
New cards

Refractory Period

The period when one is in the resting potential recovering from being in the action potential

5
