Differences between action potential and graded potential

S.N  Action potential S.N  Graded potential 1. It is the electrical potential change that occurs when impulse transmits along the membrane of the nerve or muscle cell. 1. It is the membrane potential that can vary in amplitude. 2. Related with long distance signal. 2. Related with short distance signal. 3. Occurs in two phases … Read more

Neurotransmitters and Their Types

A chemical substance present in neuron. Transmits nerve impulse from one to another neuron. Thus also called a mediator for impulse transmission. Transmission occurs through synapse. Discovered first by Otto Loewi in 1921. Was an Austrian scientist who practically came out with this discovery. Criteria for Neurotransmitters Various substances are categorized as neurotransmitters. Following criteria … Read more
