Once the membrane potential is completely returned to its resting potential (when membrane potential is reestablished), the neurons become ready for second or next nerve stimulus. Recordings from squid synapses and neuromuscular junctions of the frog reveal a delay of 0.5 to 4.0 milliseconds between the onset of action potential at the nerve terminal and action potential at the postsynaptic site. This is essential for altering the resting membrane state to action membrane potential.

They may also be removed from the terminal by exchange with extracellular Na+a mechanism known to occur at some neuronal membranes. Two factors are essential for the release of the neurotransmitter from the presynaptic terminal: (1) depolarization of the terminal and (2) the presence of calcium ions (Ca2+) in the extracellular fluid.

As is stated above, the lipid bilayer of the neuronal membrane tends to repel electrically charged, hydrated ions, making virtually impossible the movement across the membrane that is necessary for the generation of nerve impulses. Which of the following is not a structural feature of a neuron? Similarly, in the case of nerve impulse conduction, the neurons the stimulus must have a threshold value for causing the movement of ions across the length of axon (for conducting nerve impulse) by opening the voltage-gated ion channels.
