An electrical current traveling down a wire is to ________ as an electrical current not moving is to ________.
A) excitatory;inhibitory
B) action potential;resting potential
C) inhibitory;excitatory
D) resting potential;action potential
Action Potential
A short-lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, allowing neurons to transmit signals along the nerve.
Resting Potential
The electric potential difference across the membrane of a neuron at rest, critical for the transmission of nerve impulses.
Electrical Current
The flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes.
