Explain what is meant by this phrase. This means that once the threshold is met‚ an action potential occurs. If the stimulus is too small an action potential does not occur. An action potential is usually initiated in an axon at or near what? The axon hillock‚ the initial segment‚ and the trigger zone. The adequate stimuli

    Polarization of the neuron’s membrane: cell membrane is surrounded by neurons as other cell has a membrane. If a nerve cell is not stimulated‚ the membrane is known to be polarized. For a neuron to be polarized‚ it is by maintaining excess of sodium ions on the outside of the cell and excess potassium ions on the inner part of the cell. A volume of sodium ions and potassium ions usually leaks through its channel but the sodium ions and potassium ions pumps on the membrane that restores the (k+) back

    junction. Neuron (from the brain or spinal cord) will passed action potential through axon of motor neuron to an axon terminal. Sodium ion (Na+) and calcium ion (K+) are higher concentration outside than from the inside of the muscle and neuron. Na+ and K+ want to go inside but blocked by these channels (voltage gated calcium channels and ligand gated cation channels). The negative charge turn to positive charge after the action potential is at the terminal. This causes the calcium voltage gated channel

    At rest‚ a nerve cell maintains a difference in charge between the inside and the outside of the cell membrane. This difference in charge is continued by three factors. Firstly‚ in the cell membrane‚ there are sodium potassium ‘pumps’ crossing the membrane which are proteins that bring 2 potassium ions into the cell‚ for every 3 sodium ions it pumps out. As well as this‚ there are protein channels which allow potassium ions in the cell to flow out via facilitated diffusion. Potassium diffuses out
