Difference between Action potential and Cell signaling

Action potential vs. Cell signaling

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. Cell signaling (cell signalling in British English) is part of any communication process that governs basic activities of cells and coordinates all cell actions.

Similarities between Action potential and Cell signaling

Action potential and Cell signaling have 18 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Cardiac pacemaker, Cell (biology), Cell membrane, Cell–cell interaction, Chemical synapse, Chloride, Electrical synapse, Endocrine system, Gap junction, Ion channel, Lipid bilayer, Neuron, Neurotransmitter, Physiology, Soliton model in neuroscience, Synapse, Vertebrate.

Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals, including humans, as a neurotransmitter—a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.

Cardiac pacemaker

Image showing the cardiac pacemaker or SA node, the normal pacemaker within the electrical conduction system of the heart. The contraction of cardiac muscle (heart muscle) in all animals is initiated by electrical impulses known as action potentials.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

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).

Cell–cell interaction

Cell–cell interaction refers to the direct interactions between cell surfaces that play a crucial role in the development and function of multicellular organisms.

Chemical synapse

Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be exchanged to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands.

Chloride

The chloride ion is the anion (negatively charged ion) Cl−.

Electrical synapse

An electrical synapse is a mechanical and electrically conductive link between two neighboring neurons that is formed at a narrow gap between the pre- and postsynaptic neurons known as a gap junction.

Endocrine system

The endocrine system is a chemical messenger system consisting of hormones, the group of glands of an organism that carry those hormones directly into the circulatory system to be carried towards distant target organs, and the feedback loops of homeostasis that the hormones drive.

Gap junction

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

Ion channel

Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that allow ions to pass through the channel pore.

Lipid bilayer

The lipid bilayer (or phospholipid bilayer) is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules.

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.

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Physiology

Physiology is the scientific study of normal mechanisms, and their interactions, which work within a living system.

Soliton model in neuroscience

The soliton hypothesis in neuroscience is a model that claims to explain how action potentials are initiated and conducted along axons based on a thermodynamic theory of nerve pulse propagation.

Synapse

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target efferent cell.

Vertebrate

Vertebrates comprise all species of animals within the subphylum Vertebrata (chordates with backbones).

Action potential and Cell signaling Comparison

Action potential has 263 relations, while Cell signaling has 158. As they have in common 18, the Jaccard index is 4.28% = 18 / (263 + 158).
