When an inhibitory chemical signal is converted to an electrical signal, the membrane potential will be in
Added by Jamie C.
Step 1
Step 1: When an inhibitory chemical signal binds to its receptor on the neuron's membrane, it causes the opening of ion channels that allow negatively charged ions (such as chloride ions) to enter the neuron or positively charged ions (such as potassium ions) to Show more…

The interior surface of a neuron's plasma membrane at resting membrane potential will have a ________.
Adi S.
If a neuron receives a stimulus that causes the voltage on the inside to change from a resting potential of -70mV to -80mV, this stimulus would be described as being inhibitory, depolarizing, saltatory, or excitatory.
The receptor potential is the... A. electrical signal produced by an action potential. B. membrane potential produced by a stimulated receptor cell. C. membrane potential produced at a muscle cell D. membrane potential produced when a neurotransmitter molecule binds to its receptor.
