incoming signals to cell body are summated

some signals are positive and some are negative

ESPS cause voltage to become more positive making ti easier for the cell to fire

ISPS cause voltage to become more negative so more difficult for cell to fire

At any moment , cell body is bombarded with many thousands of positive and negative influences

summation of inputs determines whether cell will fire an action potential :needs to exceed threshold
