Question 66

Matching

Match the descriptions with the most appropriate term. All terms will be used more than once.

Premises:
occurs due to the diffusion of Na+
occurs when a membrane potential becomes more negative than its resting membrane potential
causes a neuron membrane potential to become more negative, allowing it to approach its resting potential
begins when Na+channel inactivation gates close and K+activation gates open
occurs in a postsynaptic membrane when ligand-gated Na+channels open
the phase of an action potential when the membrane potential becomes more positive
describes the change in resting membrane potential that causes it to approach threshold potential
Responses:
hyperpolarization
depolarization
repolarization
