Repolarization
Graded potential
Local changes in membrane potential
that occurs in varying grade
The stronger the triggering event is,
the larger the resultant graded
potential
Spread by Passive current flow
Diminished over short distance
Action Potential
During the action potential, the
membrane potential rapidly,
transiently reverse
Myelinated Fibers
Myelination increases the speed of
conduction of action potentials
Excitatory synapses
Inhibitory synapses
