In a neuron, it first has to have a certain amount of depolarizing ions for there to be an action potential. When that action potential is reached, charge can be sent through the axon (which is protected by the myelin shealth). As a charge goes through a neuron, vesicles that hold neurotransmitters (that…

    potential of the receptor cell/s resulting in depolarisation. Once a threshold level of depolarisation is reached, approximately 15mv, the receptor cell stimulates the production of action potentials that are conducted along the membrane of a nerve fibre towards the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). An action potential occurs like this: 1. A sensory nerve cell detects a stimulus (e.g. heat, touch, pain, etc.) 2. The cell begins to depolarise, with sodium ion channels in the…
