  10. 17. Are Neurons in the brain.
  11. 19. 1 type of Gated Ion channel.
  12. 20. Stimulus increases inflow of positive ions or outflow of negative ions. Makes inside of membrane more positive.
  13. 23. Action potentials move from __________ to synaptic terminal.
  14. 25. The Spinal Cord works independently of the brain as part of simple nerve circuits that produce these.

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