Across
- 2. a molecule that binds to a receptor that does activate a physiological response
- 4. potential a neural impulse/electrical signal that is brief and travels down an axon
- 6. happens when gated sodium ion channels suddenly open and allow sodium ions to rush into the cell
- 7. an electrical field that distorts the negative cloud of electrons around positive atomic nuclei in a direction of the opposite field
- 8. the period in which a cell is incapable of of repeating an action potential (electrical signal)
Down
- 1. a period in which there is an imbalance of electrical charges that exist between the interior of the electrically excitable neurons and their surroundings
- 3. a molecule that binds to a receptor that does not activate a physiological response
- 4. response phenomenon that pertains to the strength of a response of a nerve cell or muscle fiber is no dependant upon the strength of a stimuli
- 5. a neurotransmitter's reabsorption by the sending neuron
- 8. the stage in action potential (electrical signals) in which a cell experiences a decrease in voltage
