A series of similar stimuli that increases change in local membrane potential is called?
Action potential
What causes the rapid change in the resting membranes potential that initiates an action potential?
In muscle cells the inward current is a sodium + calcium flow through acetycholine activated channels as well as through voltage sensitive calcium channels.
When a stimulus is sufficiently great enough to change the membrane potential and propagate an action potential it is called?
recruitement
How electrical signal exist related with membrane potential and and action potential?
Resting potential and action potential are both names for the measure of electrical voltage within the membrane of a cell. Specifically, these terms are used in describing the transfer of information along neural pathways. Resting potential is a state where cells are at rest. However, if an electrical response or depolarization reaches threshold, then ion channels open, allowing sodium ions to rush into the membrane and increase the voltage measure, firing an action potential along the length of this membrane.
The sudden reversal of electrical charge across the neuron membrane is called?
Action potential is a short-lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, following a consistent trajectory. Action potentials occur in several types of animal cells, which include neurons, muscle cells, and endocrine cells, as well as in some plant cells. In neurons, they play a central role in cell-to-cell communication.
What is the junction between the axon of one nerve cell and the dendrite of another nerve cell?
No, not at all. The axon is the transmitting end of a neuron, and a dendrite is the receiving beginning of another neuron.The axon sends its signal "through" a synapse between the axon terminal and a dendrite via chemicals called neurotransmitters that it releases into the synaptic space, which diffuse to and are taken into structures on dendrites called ligand-gated ion pores, which open to allow sodium ions into the dendrite, which change its electrical charge, which initiates the propagation of a corresponding signal along the dendrite and cell body toward the axon hillock, which, if enough signals from dendrites reach it, will then fire and send the nerve signal onward along the axon, as an action potential.
A series of similar stimuli that increases change in local membrane potential is called?
Action potential
An electrical impulse moving down an axon is called?
This is called action potential. Action potential is the change in electrical potential that occurs between the inside and outside of a nerve or muscle fiber when it is stimulated, serving to transmit nerve signals.
What causes the rapid change in the resting membranes potential that initiates an action potential?
In muscle cells the inward current is a sodium + calcium flow through acetycholine activated channels as well as through voltage sensitive calcium channels.
What is potential gradient?
The rate of change of potential with respect to distance is called potential gradient. its unit is volt per meter or newton/coulomb.
When a stimulus is sufficiently great enough to change the membrane potential and propagate an action potential it is called?
recruitement
What is the small change in the charge across a neuron's membrane called?

When potential energy change to kinetic energy this is called?
When potential energy changes to kinetic energy, it is called "energy transformation" or "energy conversion."
A brief change in electrical voltage in the neuron in response to stimulation is called what?
an action potential
What term is defined as energy stored in an object as result of a change in its position?
That is called potential energy.
