Definitions:

Nervous System

The network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body, enabling communication between the brain, spinal cord, and other areas.

Action Potential

A temporary reversal of the electrical polarization of the membrane of a nerve cell or muscle cell, primarily involved in the transmission of nerve impulses.

Hyperpolarization

A change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative, moving it further from the threshold for electrical activity.

Membrane Potential

The difference in electric potential between the inside and outside of a cell's plasma membrane, crucial for the transmission of nerve impulses.
