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.
