3 regions
cerebral cortex - of gray matter
white matter - internally
basal nuclei - deep within white matter
the membrane must depolarize by
15 to 20 MV
for the threshold, Na permeability
increases
Na+ moves _____ K+ moves ______
in, out
AP are self
propogating
AP can only travel
in the forward direction
