The variation of the electrical potential associated with the passage of a pulse along the membrane of a muscle cell or a nerve cell is called __________(a) muscle potential(b) action potential(c) resting potential(d) half cell potentialI have been asked this question in an interview for internship.The above asked question is from Origin of Bioelectric Signals in section Bioelectric Signal and Electrodes of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (B) action POTENTIAL

Explanation: An action potential occurs when the potential of the membrane of a GIVEN axonal position increases and decreases rapidly. This depolarization causes depolarization of adjacent positions in a similar WAY. Resting membrane potential or the resting potential is the relative static membrane potential of a quiescent cell.
