When a neuron carries the electrical potential of _____ millivolts, it is in the state called _____
A)-70; resting potential.
B)+50; refractory period.
C)-50; resting potential.
D)-30; refractory period.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resting potential is the state when a neuron carries the electrical potential of around -70 millivolts. The other options are incorrect because +50 millivolts is the peak of the action potential during depolarization, -50 millivolts is the threshold potential required for an action potential to be initiated, and -30 millivolts is not a significant value in relation to neuronal states.
