- 17. Are Neurons in the brain.
- 19. 1 type of Gated Ion channel.
- 20. Stimulus increases inflow of positive ions or outflow of negative ions. Makes inside of membrane more positive.
- 23. Action potentials move from __________ to synaptic terminal.
- 25. The Spinal Cord works independently of the brain as part of simple nerve circuits that produce these.

- 32. Most voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels are_______, and some k+ channels (not voltage-gated) are open at resting potential.
Down
- 1. The _________ potential is the membrane potential of a neuron not sending signals.
- 2. Contains the Auditory cortex.
- 4. During the ________, membrane permeability to K+ is at first higher than at rest, then voltage-gated K+ channels close; resting potential is restored.
- 6. Contains the visual association cortex, and the visual cortex.
- 7. Stimulus increases outflow of positive ions or inflow of negative ions. Makes inside of membrane more negative.

- 14. During the ______ phase, the threshold is crossed, and the membrane potential increases .
- 18. 1 type of Gated Ion channel.
- 21. The movement of Na+ into the cell __________ depolarization and causes even more Na+ channels to open.
