Difference between Action potential and Muscular system

Action potential vs. Muscular system

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 muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles.

Similarities between Action potential and Muscular system

Action potential and Muscular system have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Calcium, Cerebellum, Motor neuron, Myocyte, Neuromuscular junction, Neurotransmitter, Sinoatrial node, Synapse, Tetanus, Vertebrate.

Calcium

Calcium is a chemical element with symbol Ca and atomic number 20.

Cerebellum

The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is a major feature of the hindbrain of all vertebrates.

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.

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.

Sinoatrial node

The sinoatrial node (SA node), also known as sinus node, is a group of cells located in the wall of the right atrium of the heart.

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.

Tetanus

Tetanus, also known as lockjaw, is an infection characterized by muscle spasms.

Vertebrate

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

Action potential and Muscular system Comparison

Action potential has 263 relations, while Muscular system has 40. As they have in common 10, the Jaccard index is 3.30% = 10 / (263 + 40).
