Definitions:

Membrane Potential

The electrical potential difference across a cell's plasma membrane, crucial for the transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contraction.

Millivolts

A unit of electric potential equal to one thousandth of a volt, commonly used in various fields such as physics and electrophysiology to measure small voltage differences.

All-Or-None

A principle stating that the strength of a response of a nerve or muscle fiber is not dependent on the strength of the stimulus; if a stimulus is above a certain threshold, a nerve or muscle fiber will fire with full strength.

Neuron Fires

The process by which a neuron activates and transmits an electrical signal down its axon, triggering communication with other neurons or muscle cells.
