Complete the following statements. The difference in charge across the membrane is called the
It is measured in

At resting potential, the charge of the outside of the neuron is
the inside is
and
Once a stimulus changes the membrane potential, the neuron conducts an impulse called a(n)

This causes the charge outside the cell to temporarily become
and the inside to temporarily become
When the action potential arrives at the axon terminal it reaches a junction called the
Because the nerve impulse cannot cross the synaptic cleft, neurotransmitters are released.
