Definitions:

Action Potential

A short-lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, allowing neurons to transmit signals.

Neural Impulse

An electrical signal that travels along a neuron, enabling communication between neurons and between neurons and muscles.

Resting Potential

The electrical charge of a neuron when it is not actively firing, establishing a state of potential energy that enables neural communication.

Firing

In the context of neurons, it refers to the transmission of an electrical signal along the neuron.
