It causes friction while rubbing up against the cell membrane, lighting the cell up like a light bulb and static electricity is made causing electricity to be formed

The action potential is generated when a stimulus?

The action potential is generated when a stimulus causes a change in the electrical potential across the cell membrane, resulting in the opening of voltage-gated ion channels. This allows an influx of sodium ions, causing depolarization of the membrane and initiation of the action potential.


Where in a neuron can an action potential be generated?

An action potential is generated at the axon hillock of a neuron, which is the region where the cell body (soma) transitions into the axon. This is where the concentration of voltage-gated sodium channels is highest, allowing for the initiation of the action potential.


Does hydro-electricity hurt people?

Electricity, by whatever means generated, has the potential to harm or kill people.


What ion is released when action potential is generated on the sarcolemma?

Potassium.


What does hydro-electricity do?

Hyro-electricity is the same as any other electricity. the Hydro- prefix merely denotes how the electricity was generated, in this case it was generated at a hydro-electric plant which uses the potential energy of elevated water to generate electricity.


What happens to the heart when an action potential is generated in the SA node?

it contracts


How does water mess up electricity?

Water is stored in hydropower plants. Electricity is generated using the potential energy of water.


What happens in the heart when an action potential is generated in the SA node?

Myocardial contraction


Can subthreshold stimulation cause an action potential?

No, subthreshold stimulation is not sufficient to trigger an action potential. The membrane potential needs to reach a certain threshold level for an action potential to be generated. Subthreshold stimulation only produces graded potentials that do not reach the threshold for firing an action potential.


In uk electricity is generated as?

How did the action potential generated with the unheated rod compare to the generated with the heated rod?

Heat information is conducted through neurones. Higher frequency action potentials are perceived in the brain as a hotter stimulus. So the heated rod would have sent higher-frequency action potentials than the cool rod would have.


Where does an action potential start?

Action potentials are generated on a part of the neuron called the 'axon hillock' - the proximal most portion of the axon.
