Difference between Action potential and Trigger zone

Action potential vs. Trigger zone

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. In neuroscience and neurology, a trigger zone is an area of the body, or of a cell, in which a specific type of stimulation triggers a specific type of response.

Similarities between Action potential and Trigger zone

Action potential and Trigger zone have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon hillock, Cerebral cortex, Neuron, Sensory neuron, Sodium channel, Threshold potential.

Axon hillock

The axon hillock is a specialized part of the cell body (or soma) of a neuron that connects to the axon.

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.

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.

Sensory neuron

Sensory neurons also known as afferent neurons are neurons that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded potentials.

Sodium channel

Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na+) through a cell's plasma membrane.

Threshold potential

In neuroscience, the threshold potential is the critical level to which a membrane potential must be depolarized to initiate an action potential.

The list above answers the following questions

Action potential and Trigger zone Comparison

Action potential has 263 relations, while Trigger zone has 15. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 2.16% = 6 / (263 + 15).
