The difference in voltage in a resting neuron is called the resting potential.
Neurons receive information and transmit it to other cells.
Glial cells serve many functions.
Glial cells transmit information across long distances.
The blood-brain barrier is made up of closely packed glial cells.
The difference in voltage in a resting neuron is called the resting potential.
Increasing the electrical gradient for potassium will reduce the tendency for potassium ions to exit the neuron.
Dendrites contain the nuclei, ribosomes, mitochondria, and other structures found in most cells.
A prolonged increase in the permeability of the membrane to sodium ions would interfere with a neuron's ability to have an action potential.
An afferent axon brings information into a structure.
Neurons are distinguished from other cells by their shape.
Both dendrites and cell bodies are capable of producing action potentials.
At the resting potential, the potassium channels are completely closed and the sodium channels are almost closed.
Schwann cells build the myelin sheaths in the periphery of the body.
An efferent axon carries information away from a structure.
