Neurons generate electricity from a chemical process involving the exchange of
A) ions.
B) enzymes.
C) cortisol.
D) oxytocin.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons generate electricity by exchanging ions, specifically sodium and potassium ions, across their cell membranes. This generates a difference in electrical charge, known as a resting potential, which allows them to communicate with other neurons and transmit signals throughout the body. Enzymes, cortisol, and oxytocin are not directly involved in this process.
