• Generator potential - slow potential at the skin receptor
• Excitatory postsynaptic potential - slow potential in the interneuron and motoneuron
• End-plate potential (e.p.p) - slow potential at the neuromuscular junction
• Excitation starts with a localized slow potential and is propagated via action potential
• The cytoplasm is electrically more negative than the external bathing fluid by 30-100 mV when at rest
• Membrane potential - sudden negative drop when an electrode passes through the plasma mebrane
• Membrane potential - inside minus outside
• Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz- the equation used to determine the permeabilities of ions when ion bathing ion concentration varies in the membrane potential
• Action potential - brief, spike-like depolarization
• Action potential - used for rapid signaling over a distance
• Action potential - used for all rapid signaling over a distance
• Action potential - often referred spikes or impulses
• Slow potential - membrane depolarization and hyperpolarization
• Electronic spread - electrical depolarization or hyperpolarization of a cell membrane spreads a small distance in either direction from its source
• electronic spread occurs because the intercellular and extracellular media are much conductive than the membrane
