Definitions:

Kilometres/Hour

A unit of speed measurement indicating the number of kilometers traveled in one hour, commonly used in most countries to measure transportation speed.

Action Potential

A temporary reversal of the electrical potential across the membrane of a neuron, leading to the transmission of an electrical signal along the neuron.

Electrical Signal

An impulse or transmission of information conveyed through the movement of electrical charge.

Axon

An elongated, thin extension of a neuron, also known as a nerve cell, which usually transmits electrical signals from the cell body of the neuron.
