When a neuron cell is awaiting an electrical impulse, it only allows specific ions to enter channels in the cell membrane. this is known as....
A.) action potential
B.) resting potential
C.) diffusion
D.) electrostatic pressure
E.) potential transmission

Transmission of a signal within a neuron in one direction only, from dendrite to axon terminal is carried out by the opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels, which cause a brief reversal of the resting membrane potential to create an action potential.
