Difference between Action potential and Baroreflex

Action potential vs. Baroreflex

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. The baroreflex or baroreceptor reflex is one of the body's homeostatic mechanisms that helps to maintain blood pressure at nearly constant levels.

Similarities between Action potential and Baroreflex

Action potential and Baroreflex have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atrium (heart), Heart, Heart rate, Mechanoreceptor, Neuron, Parasympathetic nervous system, Sympathetic nervous system.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Parasympathetic nervous system

The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is one of the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system (a division of the peripheral nervous system (PNS)), the other being the sympathetic nervous system.
