  • Boðspenna

    A brief fluctuation in membrane potential caused by the rapid opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels; also known as spike, nerve impulse, or discharge. Action potentials sweep like a wave along axons to transfer information from one place to another in the nervous system.

  • boðspenna

    Action Potentials are rapid electrical signals in neurons. They begin when the membrane reaches threshold (-55 mV), causing Na⁺ influx (depolarization to +30 mV). K⁺ efflux repolarizes the membrane, followed by hyperpolarization. They are all-or-none events, with absolute and relative refractory periods ensuring unidirectional propagation.
