Threshold potential — The threshold potential is the membrane potential to which a membrane must be depolarized to initiate an action potential.It often can be between −40 and 55 mV, but it can vary based upon several factors. If ion channels are available, that will… … Wikipedia
Slow wave threshold — In neurobiology, the slow wave threshold is the potential which must be reached before a slow wave can be propagated in smooth muscle. Slow waves cause no smooth muscle contraction. [ framed|A depiction of a slow wave, contraction and electrical… … Wikipedia
Action potential — In physiology, an action potential is a short lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, following a consistent trajectory. Action potentials occur in several types of animal cells, called… … Wikipedia
nervous system — Anat., Zool. 1. the system of nerves and nerve centers in an animal or human, including the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and ganglia. 2. a particular part of this system. Cf. autonomic nervous system, central nervous system, peripheral nervous… … Universalium
Bathmotropic — Bathmotropic, (derived from the Greek word Bathmos, meaning step or threshold), refers to modification of the degree of excitability, (threshold of excitation), of musculature in general, and of heart musculature specifically. It is used… … Wikipedia
Basal metabolic rate — (BMR), and the closely related resting metabolic rate (RMR), is the amount of daily energy expended by humans and animals at rest. Rest is defined as existing in a neutrally temperate environment while in the post absorptive state. In plants,… … Wikipedia
End-plate potential — Miniature end plate potentials and end plate spikes recorded from muscle fiber End plate potentials (EPPs) (sometimes called end plate spikes ) are the depolarizations of skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the… … Wikipedia
muscle — muscleless, adj. muscly, adj. /mus euhl/, n., v., muscled, muscling, adj. n. 1. a tissue composed of cells or fibers, the contraction of which produces movement in the body. 2. an organ, composed of muscle tissue, that contracts to produce a… … Universalium
mechanoreception — See mechanoreceptor. * * * Ability to detect and respond to mechanical stimuli in one s environment. A slight deformation of a mechanoreceptive neuron causes an electric charge at its surface, activating a response. Mechanoreceptors in pain spots … Universalium
Membrane potential — Differences in concentration of ions on opposite sides of a cellular membrane lead to a voltage called the membrane potential. Many ions have a concentration gradient across the membrane, including potassium (K+), which is at a high inside and a… … Wikipedia
Refractory period — In physiology, a refractory period is a period of time during which an organ or cell is incapable of repeating a particular action, or (more precisely) the amount of time it takes for an excitable membrane to be ready for a second stimulus once… … Wikipedia
