Action Potential (A neuroscience study)

Instructions

After reading about and watching the video (or any other videos you find) regarding the action potential, describe in your own words what takes place. Include ions that move in and out of the cell, as well as the changes in the cell membrane potential. Use at least 100 words in this description. Write using APA style, and cite and reference your source(s).

Answer preview

Actual potentials are the electrical impulses sent to the organs from the brains whenever there is an action being performed (Molecular Devices, 2018). The electrical impulses occur within neurons when the neurotransmitters are released. The neurons are the cells in the body that are designed with the purpose of conveying information all around the body. Neurons have nucleus and organelles in their cell body but they have other added features, which separate them from the other cells in the body and allow them to carry on their purpose.
