Difference between Action potential and Benzocaine

Action potential vs. Benzocaine

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. Benzocaine, sold under the brand name Orajel among others, is an ester local anesthetic commonly used as a topical pain reliever or in cough drops.

Similarities between Action potential and Benzocaine

Action potential and Benzocaine have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cell membrane, Central nervous system, Depolarization, Nerve, Neuron, Sodium, Sodium channel.

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

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.

Nerve

A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons (nerve fibers, the long and slender projections of neurons) in the peripheral 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.

Sodium

Sodium is a chemical element with symbol Na (from Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.

Sodium channel

Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na+) through a cell's plasma membrane.

Action potential and Benzocaine Comparison

Action potential has 263 relations, while Benzocaine has 56. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 2.19% = 7 / (263 + 56).
