What is Understanding Neuron Membrane Potential about?
The human nervous system contains billions of neurons that communicate via electrical impulses. Neurons have a cell body with dendrites that receive signals and a single axon that transmits signals. Neurons maintain a voltage gradient across their cell membranes via ion pumps and channels. When stimulated above a threshold, neurons rapidly depolarize via sodium channels in an all-or-none action potential that travels down the axon. Myelination allows faster signal transmission.
