Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The difference in charges between the outside and inside of the membrane is the definition of resting potential. Action potential refers to the brief electrical signal that travels down a neuron's axon. Graded potential refers to small changes in the membrane potential that can either depolarize or hyperpolarize the neuron. Retrograde potential is not a well-known term in neuroscience.
