The voltage of a neuron's ______________ is typically around -70 millivolts.
A)postsynaptic potential
B)resting potential
C)refractory period
D)action potential

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resting potential is the voltage that a neuron maintains when it is not sending a signal. It is typically around -70 millivolts, which means that the inside of the neuron is negatively charged relative to the outside. The other options (postsynaptic potential, refractory period, and action potential) are all related to the process of sending a signal, but they do not refer to the voltage of the neuron at rest.
