Chapter 12.8, Problem 27LO
Summary Introduction

To describe: A postsynaptic potential.

Concept introduction: The unequal distribution of positive and negative charges across the cell membrane results in membrane potential of a cell. The receptive segment of the neuron contains chemically gated channels. This receptive segment of the neuron contains dendrites and cell body. The dendrite part of a neuron receives the impulses and activates the neuron. This results in opening and closing of the chemically gated channel. This results in the generation of graded potential.
