Definitions:

Resting Potential

Resting potential refers to the electric potential difference across the neuronal membrane when the neuron is not actively sending a signal.

Absolute Refractory Period

The period immediately following the firing of a nerve fiber when it cannot be stimulated to fire again, no matter how strong the incoming signal.

Action Potential

A momentary change in electrical potential on the surface of a neuron that occurs when it is stimulated and is capable of transmitting a signal along the neuron.

Millivolts

A unit of electric potential equal to one thousandth of a volt.
