Action potential — In physiology, an action potential is a short lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, following a consistent trajectory. Action potentials occur in several types of animal cells, called… … Wikipedia
Terminal cisternae — are enlarged areas of the sarcoplasmic reticulum surrounding the transverse tubules. They store calcium and release it when an action potential courses down the transverse tubules, eliciting muscle contraction. The T tubules plus adjacent… … Wikipedia
End-plate potential — Miniature end plate potentials and end plate spikes recorded from muscle fiber End plate potentials (EPPs) (sometimes called end plate spikes ) are the depolarizations of skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the… … Wikipedia
Postsynaptic potential — Postsynaptic potentials are changes in the membrane potential of the postsynaptic terminal of a chemical synapse. Postsynaptic potentials are graded potentials, and should not be confused with action potentials although their function is to… … Wikipedia
Membrane potential — Differences in concentration of ions on opposite sides of a cellular membrane lead to a voltage called the membrane potential. Many ions have a concentration gradient across the membrane, including potassium (K+), which is at a high inside and a… … Wikipedia
end-plate potential — ▪ physiology chemically induced change in electric potential of the motor end plate, the portion of the muscle cell membrane that lies opposite the terminal of a nerve fibre at the neuromuscular junction. The end plate membrane is… … Universalium
