On a small diameter axon
action potentials
The nervous system can detect the strength of a stimulus by measuring the frequency of action potentials . For example a hard hit might generate 10 impulses per second.

Action potentials
Axons conduct the nerve impulses, or action potentials, to the axon terminals and the synaptic cleft.
Action potentials are how nerve impulses are transmitted from neuron to neuron. An action potential is formed when a stimulus to the nerve cell causes the membrane to depolarize and open all of its sodium ion channels toward the threshold potential.
neuromuscular junctions Action potentials conduct down T tubules into skeletal muscles
