Difference between Action potential and Sensation (psychology)

Action potential vs. Sensation (psychology)

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. Sensation is the body's detection of external or internal stimulation (e.g., eyes detecting light waves, ears detecting sound waves).

Similarities between Action potential and Sensation (psychology)

Action potential and Sensation (psychology) have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Hair cell, Mechanoreceptor, Optic nerve, Photoreceptor cell, Retina.

Hair cell

Hair cells are the sensory receptors of both the auditory system and the vestibular system in the ears of all vertebrates.

Mechanoreceptor

A mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure or distortion.

Optic nerve

The optic nerve, also known as cranial nerve II, is a paired nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain.

Photoreceptor cell

A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Action potential and Sensation (psychology) Comparison

Action potential has 263 relations, while Sensation (psychology) has 34. As they have in common 5, the Jaccard index is 1.68% = 5 / (263 + 34).
