The process causes a 110 mV voltage spike to ride down the length of the entire axon, and is called an action potential. This voltage spike will end up in the soma of another neuron. If that ...

the neuron is triggered to send an action potential across its axon. Overall, action potentials are all-or-nothing signals because their response is usually the same amplitude and duration. The ...

In order for a neuron to transmit its own signal, it must first be sufficiently activated by incoming signals from other neurons via its dendrites. Then, an action potential is generated in its ...

When this potential passes a threshold value, the impulse is passed on. But below the threshold for a spike, a neuron’s action potential randomly fluctuates in a similar way to classical Brownian ...

Motor neuron sends electrical impulses to an effector. Effector produces a response (muscle contracts to move hand away). Organisms are able to modify a reflex action and overcome it, but this ...
