Action Potential and the SynapseNo unread replies.No replies.Like the sliding filament theory, the generation and propagation of an action potential and synaptic function are difficult physiological processes to grasp. The purpose of this discussion board is to assist students with their understanding of how an action potential is generated and signals are send through the synapse by writing about and discussing the topic.
For the initial post, discuss the initiation and propagation of the action potential. Describe the propagation of an action potential down the axon of a neuron in terms of the movement of Na and K ions and the membrane proteins involved.\u00a0 Make sure you include all of the steps from resting membrane potential, threshold potential, depolarization, repolarization, and hyperpolarization (the reestablishment of the resting membrane potential).\u00a0
Once the action potential reaches the axon terminus, the information needed to be sent through the synapse to the muscle fiber. Discuss how this signal is sent. Be sure address the role of calcium in the function of the neuromuscular junction. Why is it needed?
Your initial post should be at least two paragraphs of five sentences each (however, it will probably take you longer to address this topic completely). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
