An action potential traveling along the entire length of an axon demonstrates <u>continuous</u> propagation.

Propagation of action potential:

  • An action potential is created by the rapid input of Na+ ions and the slightly slower outflow of K+ ions.
  • Action potential initiation occurs in the axon's first segment, and as action potentials spread throughout the axon, cells can convey their output to synapses located further distant from the cell.
  • The action potential conducts continuously in unmyelinated axons, whereas it conducts rapidly and saltatorily in myelinated axons where sodium channels are concentrated near the nodes of Ranvier.
  • The action potential always advances in the same direction whenever a local current begins to form due to the prior axon segment still being in the absolute refractory period. As a result, action potentials travel away from the location of their generation and do not change course.

What are 2 real life examples of cytoplasm?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
Cytoplasm is the thick fluid solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane. It is made up mostly of water, salts, and proteins.

The cells within your own body, and within plants contain cytoplasm.  So two real life examples of cytoplasm would be the fluid in your own cells, and the fluid inside the cells of a tree.
