Answer:
movement of chemicals into the dendrites of the neuron
Step-by-step explanation:
Nerve impulse occurs when electrical gradient is moved across the plasma membrane of a resting neuron this is done when the neuron receives a chemical signal from another cell or some other type of stimulus. This action potential then travels down the neuron’s axon as an electric current.
Resting potential occurs because of the difference in electrical charge across the plasma membrane of a neuron.
An electrical gradient is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump this is done across the plasma membrane of a neuron when it is not transmitting a nerve impulse this is the resting potential of the neuron.
