Definitions:

Action Potentials

Electrical signals that are fundamental for the function of neurons and muscle cells, representing rapid changes in membrane potential that propagate along the cell membrane.

Depolarization

A decrease in the difference in voltage across a cell's plasma membrane, often leading to action potential in neurons and muscle cells.

Neurotransmitters

Chemicals released by neurons that transmit signals across a chemical synapse, such as from a neuron to a muscle.

Isometric Contraction

A form of muscle contraction where tension is produced without an observable change in muscle length.
