Answer:

The answer to this definition is: ACTION POTENTIAL

Explanation:

Action potential is a phenomenon in nervous system used to describe a change in electrical current that occurs when an impulse passes through a neuron or nerve cell. Action potential is induced when sodium (Na+) ions move from the extracellular environment into the intracellular environment.

Impulse travels across the axon of a neuron and thereby causes a difference in the electric potential i.e. - mv to + mv. This process, according to this question, whereby a change in electrical potential occurs due to the passage of an impulse through a nerve cell is termed ACTION POTENTIAL.

An example of this is our appendix. We no longer use our appendix because food nowadays is softer than what our ancestors used to eat.

Our ancestors could quickly digest (through their appendix) tree barks because they ate them frequently versus now we don't even use them at all
