When a neuron's electrical charge becomes positive and travels along the axon, the neuron is said to be firing
A) an electrical potential.
B) a resting potential.
C) an action potential.
D) a chemical potential.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a neuron's electrical charge becomes positive and travels along the axon, it is called an action potential, which is the electrical impulse that travels along the neuron's axon. The resting potential refers to the neuron's state when it is not firing, and a chemical potential is not directly related to the electrical activity of a neuron.
