| action potential |
The electrical signal which rapidly propagates along the axon of nerve cells as well as over the surface of some muscle and glandular cells. It is the result of a change in membrane electrical potential, the underlying cause of which is a change in flow of ions across the membrane due to voltage-activated ion channels.
