    Action potential also known as a nerve impulse is the events of the electrical response that takes place in a cell. During the refractory period, the axons voltagegated sodium channels are not responsive at all. This lab report addresses a normal cell environment where action potential occurs in neuron trigger zone when its membrane potential (electrical charge) rises and falls. It will also address the effects of toxins on the action potential followed by cranial nerve and reflex testing.
