What is the node-to-node jumping regeneration of an action potential along a myelinated axon called?
saltatory conduction Saltatory conduction is derived from the Latin word saltare, which means leaping
Why does regeneration of the action potential occur in one direction?
Regeneration of the action potential occurs in one direction due to the refractory period in neurons. During this period, the region that has just fired an action potential cannot immediately fire another one, ensuring that the signal propagates in a unidirectional manner along the neuron.
What is the interval called during which a neuron is dormant after an action potential has been completed?
Resting potential
When a stimulus is sufficiently great enough to change the membrane potential and propagate an action potential it is called?
recruitement
A series of similar stimuli that increases change in local membrane potential is called?
Action potential
What is the node-to-node jumping regeneration of an action potential along a myelinated axon called?
saltatory conduction Saltatory conduction is derived from the Latin word saltare, which means leaping
Also called a nerve impulse transmitted by axons?
action potential
An electrical impulse moving down an axon is called?
An electrical impulse moving down an axon is called an action potential. This process involves the rapid depolarization and repolarization of the axon membrane in response to a stimulus, allowing for the transmission of signals along the neuron.

Regeneration of the action potential occurs in one direction due to the refractory period in neurons. During this period, the region that has just fired an action potential cannot immediately fire another one, ensuring that the signal propagates in a unidirectional manner along the neuron.
What is the interval called during which a neuron is dormant after an action potential has been completed?
Resting potential
The ability of an organism to replace body parts is called what?
Regeneration
For a brief time after an action potential begins a muscle fiber or neuron cannot generate another action potential This time is called the?
five second silence
What are also called neural impulses?
Action potential is a neural impulse.
Conduction along a myelinated axon is called?
It is called saltatory conduction. This describes the "jumping" of an action potential from node to node on a myelinated axon.
When a stimulus is sufficiently great enough to change the membrane potential and propagate an action potential it is called?
recruitement
A series of similar stimuli that increases change in local membrane potential is called?
Action potential
What is the organ or tissue with most powerful regeneration potential in human being?
Skin
