A)  resting potential 
B)  action potential 
C)  post-synaptic potential 
D)  inhibitory potential

Resting Potential

The difference in electric charge across the membrane of a neuron when it is not actively transmitting a signal, serving as a basis for neural excitation.

Electrical Charge

A physical property that causes objects to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.

Neuron

A neuron, which is a cell specialized in the transmission of nerve signals.

  • Absorb information regarding the electrical features of neurons, specifically resting potential and action potential.
