For instance, pain medication. And other drugs work by throwing more chloride in or throwing more potassium out or whatever it may be. So I think we've covered graded potentials in a way a neuron can excite or inhibit. Let's now talk more specifically about how an action potential actually works because all we've spoken about is how you can trigger one, but not what it actually comprises of.
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!
