Difference between Neurotransmission and Potassium in biology

Neurotransmission vs. Potassium in biology

Neurotransmission (Latin: transmissio "passage, crossing" from transmittere "send, let through"), also called synaptic transmission, is the process by which signaling molecules called neurotransmitters are released by the axon terminal of a neuron (the presynaptic neuron), and bind to and activate the receptors on the dendrites of another neuron (the postsynaptic neuron). Potassium is an essential mineral micronutrient and is the main intracellular ion for all types of cells.

Similarities between Neurotransmission and Potassium in biology

Neurotransmission and Potassium in biology have 2 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Membrane potential.

Action potential

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.

Membrane potential

The term "membrane potential" may refer to one of three kinds of membrane potential.
