Facilitation. Because this process helps to generate action potential once a threshold potential is reached. So, it is facilitating the generation of action potential.
Add Answer to:
The process of changing the resting membrane potential towards its threshold is called Facilitation Direct conduction...

A neuron has a resting membrane potential of -70 mV; it’s trigger threshold for firing an action potential is -50 mV. Two competing signals arrive simultaneously in the trigger zone: one is a depolarizing stimulus of +40 mV, the other a hyperpolarizing stimulus of -25 mV. Will the neuron fire an action potential after integrating these signals? Why?
The neuron has a resting potential of – 60 mv and a threshold potential at -40...
The neuron has a resting potential of – 60 mv and a threshold
potential at -40 mv. The ENa is approximately at +40 mv. In every
case, the stimulus is initiated at 2 ms, and lasts for 1 ms. Draw
the membrane potentials from 0 to 10 ms for the following scenarios
in each of the boxes above.
a) 15 mv depolarizing stimulus
b) 25 mv hyperpolarizing stimulus
c) 30 mv depolaring stimulus
d) 30 mv depolarizing stimulus after the...

The resting membrane potential of a neuronal axon is -70 mV. When an action potential is triggered, Na+ ions move into the axon, which reverses the voltage, bringing it towards 0 mV. Which of the following is the correct term for this sequence of events? a. Repolarization b. Hyperpolarization c. Depolarization d. Hypopolarization e. Isopolarization

All mammalian cells maintain the resting membrane potential across the plasma membrane. Neurons and muscle cells are capable of generating the action potential to communicate with each other. Below is a diagram showing a temporal change of the membrane potential in axon. Explain how such membrane potential is generated and/or maintained in each stage (1-3). Make sure to identify key membrane proteins and the movement of ion(s) through these membrane proteins in each stage. Calculate the membrane potential at the...

In its resting state, the membrane surrounding a neuron is permeable to potassium ions but only...
In its resting state, the membrane surrounding a neuron is
permeable to potassium ions but only slightly permeable to sodium
ions. Thus, positive K ions can flow through the membrane in an
attempt to equalize K concentration, but Na ions cannot as quickly.
This leads to an excess of Na ions outside of the cell. If the
space outside the cell is defined as zero electric potential, then
the electric potential of the interior of the cell is negative.
This...
