Membrane Receptor

A specialized protein molecule embedded in the cell membrane that can interact with specific molecules, starting a chain of cell responses.

Depolarization

The process in which a cell's membrane potential becomes less negative, moving towards zero, which is critical in the initiation of action potentials.

Threshold Stimulus

Stimulus resulting in a local potential just large enough to reach threshold and produce an action potential.
