- Match the events listed with their order in the mechanisms behind the firing of an action potential under normal conditions (without tetrodotoxin present in the man's body). The cell has a resting membrane potential of -65 mV. You should match these events at the initial segment of a bipolar neuron. Please note that this is a sequence question. Although not an option below, you should consider that neurotransmitters are bound to ligand-gated receptors causing EPSPs.
