Action Potentials - Animated, Explained, Graphed

Action potentials are the signals our neurons use to communicate. But, what are they exactly? What are the steps? In this video, I take you through an animation of the stages (resting membrane potential, depolarization, repolarization, and refractory period), show you what you can write if you’re taking notes, and breakdown the membrane voltage graph of the action potential.

^Make a copy of this Google Doc, then open channels and move ions around to practice modeling the stages of the action potential.

    Man, where were you when I was taking A & P I and II on steroids??? Hahaaa! I love it!!! Thank you so much for what you do. I was given (when I finished my nursing residency) and still have the exact same "Neuri" stuffed doll.

    I would be interested in the speed of the guidance proteins along with the growth speed of the dendrites. Love them and think about space travel while watching them.

    Wrong explanation, because you didn't say main point about creation negative charge inside the cell.
