Voltage

The difference in electric potential between two points, crucial in the generation and transmission of nerve impulses in neurons.

Refractory Periods

Time intervals following an action potential during which a neuron is incapable of firing again or the threshold for firing is elevated.

Voltage-Sensitive

Voltage-sensitive describes membranes or proteins that respond to changes in electrical potential across them, crucial for nerve signal transmission and muscle contraction.

Sodium Channels

Specialized protein molecules in cell membranes that allow the passage of sodium ions into and out of the cell, playing a crucial role in generating and conducting electrical signals.
