Difference between Action potential and Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease

Action potential vs. Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease

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. Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies, a group of varied inherited disorders of the peripheral nervous system characterized by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body.

Similarities between Action potential and Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease

Action potential and Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon, Cell nucleus, Myelin, Myocyte, Peripheral nervous system, Schwann cell, Synapse.

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.

Cell nucleus

In cell biology, the nucleus (pl. nuclei; from Latin nucleus or nuculeus, meaning kernel or seed) is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells.

Myelin

Myelin is a lipid-rich substance that surrounds the axon of some nerve cells, forming an electrically insulating layer.

Myocyte

A myocyte (also known as a muscle cell) is the type of cell found in muscle tissue.

Peripheral nervous system

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is one of the two components of the nervous system, the other part is the central nervous system (CNS).

Schwann cell

Schwann cells (named after physiologist Theodor Schwann) or neurolemmocytes are the principal glia of the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

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.

The list above answers the following questions

Action potential and Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease Comparison

Action potential has 263 relations, while Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease has 58. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 2.18% = 7 / (263 + 58).
