Depolarization occurs when a stimulus opens sodium channels which allow more sodium to go into the membrane making it less negative and more positive (toward reaching threshold). An action potential can only occur once the membrane reaches threshold which means it has reached the level needed through depolarization. An action potential is a brief reversal in polarity of the membrane making the inside more positive and the outside more negative, the reverse occurs again once the membrane reaches resting potential.
What else can I help you with?
Is creation of an action potential part of the procsee of nerve conduction along an axon?
Indeed. You have saltatory conduction because of the presence of myelin in peripheral nerves, laid by Schwann cells. How AP is generated is via the following: WHen threshold potential is reached , voltage gated Na+ channels open, allowing huge Na+ influx. THis is called rapid depolarization. This is followed by a plateau phase, where the membrane potential is relatively flat because slow Ca2+ influx equalizes K+ efflux. The last thing is repolarization which is going to a negative membrane potential because more K+ channels open, Ca2+ channels closing and Na/K+ pump (Na+ pumped out, K+ in)
What does it take to trigger an action potential?
neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron must be released and binded to the ligand gated sodium channels to increase the membrane potential (increase the charge) until it reaches the threshold of the trigger zone which is -55 millivolts.
How is potential energy like kinetic?
They're not the same thing, potential energy is energy at rest whereas kinetic energy is energy in motion.
Is potential energy a chemical bond?
If you mix sodium with water, it will explode. Sodium and water each have chemical potential energy. When mixed together, the energy becomes active. Each substance has the potential to release energy in a chemical reaction.
Is by a connective?
"By" can act as a preposition to show the method, means, or agent by which an action is done. It can also indicate the person or thing performing the action.
Do action potentials in the same neuron come in different sizes and shapes?
Yes, but that is not relevant. The important thing is the frequency of action potential

When you touch something hot a neuron in your fingers senses the temperature which best decscribes the first reaction the neuron has?
Ions flow into the neuron. An action potential forms moves along the neuron. A response occurs, here, an aversion response... your body pulls your hand and finger away.
Is there such thing as a fake action replay?
no

Not a thing!
In a sentence the person or thing that receives the action of the verb is known as the?
In a sentence, the person or thing that receives the action of the verb is known as the direct object.
How do you put God in action?
YOU don't do any such thing. He is already in action. The question is: How does God take action in and through you?
What is a authoritarianism?
No such thing. It is a contradiction in terms. They are opposites.
Where can you buy a PS2 action replay?
There is no such thing.
