The optic nerves carry the impulses from the eyes to the visual area of the thalamus.
optic nerve
ganglion cells
action potentials are non-decremental and do not get weaker with distance.
action potentials, ionic currents, the force of contraction and ionic currents and action potentials only
electrical signal
They are triggered by a depolarization that reaches the threshold

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
Yes.
Action Potentials
initial segment
no but generator potential can be summated
It has to do with what types of channels are open during this phase. In the repolarization phase the number of potassium channels are increased and the number of sodium channels are decreased. This allows for action potentials to not occur. Otherwise, the action potentials would add up and produce tetany.
A neuron will generate action potential when it is stimulated by a neurotransmitter.
