Which cell must have action potentials to produce one or more action potentials in the postsynaptic cell?
A neuron (nerve cell) receives dendritic input in order to generate action potentials to transmit signals of the same. After the action potential triggers release of neurotransmitters in the axonal terminal of that neuron, those neurotransmitters propagate the signal forward to the next neuron, and so forth.
How does an action potential differ from a graded potential?
Action potentials also known as spikes, differ from graded potentials in that they do not diminish in strength as they travel through the neuron.
Action potentials pass from one myocardial cell to another through areas of low electrical resistance called?
gap junctions
Where do most action potentials originate?
initial segment
Can action potentials be summated?
no but generator potential can be summated

Transmit neural messages from neuron to neuron?
Neurons send messages by way of chemical signalers called neurotransmitters. An activated neuron releases neurotransmitters and their collective action can stimulate another neuron. These individual firing sequences are called action potentials.
Do action potentials become weaker with distance?
action potentials are non-decremental and do not get weaker with distance.
What do intercalated discs transfer from cell to cell?
action potentials, ionic currents, the force of contraction and ionic currents and action potentials only
What is the role of the neurons in transmitting electrochemical impulses?
They send the chemical impulses that are released at the synapses from the synaptic terminal of the axon of the first neuron. It merges from the dendrites to the second neuron.

Communication in the nervous system depends on?
action potentials
Does nervous tissue generate action potentials?
Yes.
Where do most action potentials originate?
initial segment
A nerve impulse consists of a wave of?
Action Potentials
Can action potentials be summated?
no but generator potential can be summated
