State in which the resting potential is reversed as sodium ions rush into the neuron?
This state is known as depolarization. It occurs when there is a rapid influx of sodium ions into the neuron, causing the inside of the neuron to become more positively charged compared to the outside.
When does Depolarization occur?
Depolarisation occurs as ions cross the membrane of a cell or a nuron. Ions such as NA+ or K+ make depolarisation happen. Depolarisation can work on a threshold potetional such as in the heart. Threshold potetional A threshold potetional is a self- regenerating wave of electrical current depolairsation. In the hearts cells depolarisation happends when the cells of the heart are brought to a voltage threshold because of NA+ ions.Soduim NA+ is a soft, silvery-white powerderd ion. Soduim is found in sea water and also in rocks. Liquid soduim is used for depolarisation of the heart and is a clear liquid.

What happens when neurotransmitters communicate an excitatory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
When neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron:
What is the Neuron function?
The function of a neuron is to transfer messages throughout the brain. These neurons are all attached and interpret everything that happens.
What happens during the refractory period?
The voltage-gated Na+ channels get deactivated, thus the sodium ions cannot diffuse into the cell and cause depolarisation and this also provides time for the membrane to prepare for its second action potential.
What do resting and action potentials depend on?
The resting and action potentials depend on the balance of charges of the area outside the neuron and inside the neuron. A resting potential is when the neuron is more negatively (approximately -70mv) charged than the area outside the neuron. The action potential occurs when sodium ions rush into the neuron, causing the polarity to be reversed. When there is no difference in charge between the area inside the neuron and the area outside the neuron, no action potentials can be started by that neuron.
Is the neuron ready to fire during the refractory period?
No, the neuron is not ready to fire during the refractory period. This period occurs immediately after the neuron has fired and is characterized by a temporary inability to generate another action potential.
