Chapter 12.9, Problem 28WDL

Summary Introduction

To explain:

How frequency of action potential differs from the velocity of action potential propagation.

Concept introduction:

The unequal distribution of positive and negative charge across the cell membrane results in membrane potential of a cell. When the membrane potential of an axon in a specific location rises and falls, it causes a series of electrical response or action potential. Action potential helps in the communication between cells.
