Introduction:

Nervous system controls and coordinates the functions of body. It is comprised of brain, spinal cord, sensory organs and spinal cord. Nervous tissue has two types of cells: neurons and glial cells.

The action potential generates when the neurons receives the signals beyond the threshold. The voltage generates the action potential.
