Difference between Action potential and Apical dendrite

Action potential vs. Apical dendrite

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise. An apical dendrite is a dendrite that emerges from the apex of a pyramidal cell.

Similarities between Action potential and Apical dendrite

Action potential and Apical dendrite have 17 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon, Calcium channel, Cerebellum, Cerebral cortex, Dendrite, Dendritic spine, Depolarization, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Gap junction, Granule cell, Hyperpolarization (biology), Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Pyramidal cell, Retina, Soma (biology), Tetanospasmin, Xenopus.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Calcium channel

A calcium channel is an ion channel which shows selective permeability to calcium ions.

Cerebellum

The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.

Cerebral cortex

The cerebral cortex is the largest region of the cerebrum in the mammalian brain and plays a key role in memory, attention, perception, cognition, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.

Dendrite

Dendrites (from Greek δένδρον déndron, "tree"), also dendrons, are branched protoplasmic extensions of a nerve cell that propagate the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project.

Dendritic spine

A dendritic spine (or spine) is a small membranous protrusion from a neuron's dendrite that typically receives input from a single axon at the synapse.

Depolarization

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

Excitatory postsynaptic potential

In neuroscience, an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is a postsynaptic potential that makes the postsynaptic neuron more likely to fire an action potential.

Gap junction

A gap junction may also be called a nexus or macula communicans.

Granule cell

The name granule cell has been used by anatomists for a number of different types of neuron whose only common feature is that they all have very small cell bodies.

Hyperpolarization (biology)

Hyperpolarization is a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative.

Inhibitory postsynaptic potential

An inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) is a kind of synaptic potential that makes a postsynaptic neuron less likely to generate an action potential.

Pyramidal cell

Pyramidal cells, or (pyramidal neurons), are a type of multipolar neuron found in areas of the brain including the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, and the amygdala.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Soma (biology)

The soma (pl. somata or somas), perikaryon (pl. perikarya), neurocyton, or cell body is the bulbous, non-process portion of a neuron or other brain cell type, containing the cell nucleus.

Tetanus toxin is an extremely potent neurotoxin produced by the vegetative cell of Clostridium tetani in anaerobic conditions, causing tetanus.

Action potential and Apical dendrite Comparison

Action potential has 263 relations, while Apical dendrite has 101. As they have in common 17, the Jaccard index is 4.67% = 17 / (263 + 101).
