Difference between Action potential and Muscle

Action potential vs. Muscle

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. Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals.

Similarities between Action potential and Muscle

Action potential and Muscle have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Animal, Cell (biology), Central nervous system, Cerebellum, Cerebral cortex, Heart, Mammal, Motor neuron, Myocyte, Nerve, Neuromuscular junction, Neurotransmitter, Peripheral nervous system, Reflex, 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.

Animal

Animals are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia.

Cell (biology)

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

Central nervous system

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

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.

Heart

The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.

Mammal

Mammals are the vertebrates within the class Mammalia (from Latin mamma "breast"), a clade of endothermic amniotes distinguished from reptiles (including birds) by the possession of a neocortex (a region of the brain), hair, three middle ear bones, and mammary glands.

Motor neuron

A motor neuron (or motoneuron) is a neuron whose cell body is located in the motor cortex, brainstem or the spinal cord, and whose axon (fiber) projects to the spinal cord or outside of the spinal cord to directly or indirectly control effector organs, mainly muscles and glands.

Myocyte

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

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.

Neuromuscular junction

A neuromuscular junction (or myoneural junction) is a chemical synapse formed by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber.

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

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).

Reflex

A reflex, or reflex action, is an involuntary and nearly instantaneous movement in response to a stimulus.

Vertebrate

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

Action potential and Muscle Comparison

Action potential has 263 relations, while Muscle has 218. As they have in common 16, the Jaccard index is 3.33% = 16 / (263 + 218).
