Action Potentials

Action Potentials is a neurophysiological phenomenon consisting of rapid, transient, all-or-none changes in the membrane potential of excitable cells that are actively propagated without decrement along the plasma membrane, thereby enabling long-distance electrical signaling in nervous and muscular systems.
