Question

Explain action and resting potential.

Answer 1

Answer:

The resting potential tells about what happens when a neuron is at rest.

An action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon, away from the cell body.

Neuroscientists use other words, such as a "spike" or an "impulse" for the action potential

Answer 2

→Answers :

→Action Potential :

An action potential occurs when a neuron sends information down an axon, away from the cell body.

Example :

→The most famous example of action potentials are found as nerve impulses in nerve fibers to muscles

→Resting Potential :

Resting potential, the imbalance of electrical charge that exists between the interior of electrically excitable neurons (nerve cells) and their surroundings.

Examples :

→Interior of electrically excitable neurons (nerve cells) and their surroundings. .
