The action potential is also known as the depolarizing effect, right? Yes. If you do the opposite and make the membrane or the inside of the membrane more negative than its resting potential, you are hyperpolarizing it. Which will become part of the action potential when we talk about it. And what is that phenomenon called? The all or nothing phenomenon? When it becomes positive beyond the resting potential, at least to the, in this case, the threshold.
In this episode, Dr Matt and Dr Mike discuss how the nervous system allows us to walk, talk, smell, taste, hear, and feel!
This episode is about the electrical and chemical signals that the body sends called action potentials!
