Graded Potentials & Action Potentials
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: Electrical Signals in Neurons

Excitable cells communicate with each other via action potentials or graded potentials
Action potentials (AP) allow communication over short and long distances whereas graded potentials (GP) allow communication over short distances only
Production of an AP or a GP depends upon the existence of a resting membrane potential and the existence of certain ion channels
