A)
Resting potential


B)
Synapse potential


C)
Action potential

The sodium potassium pump is a type of active transport which maintains the resting potential of the neuron when there is no activity or message being sent. Once the sodium potasium pump starts working out of its natural homeostatic way, an action potential will likely occur.
