Generating an action potential (continued)
The sensory neuron in the video is stimulated with increasingly stronger stimuli until the voltage goes above the threshold and an action potential is generated.
Multiple voltage recordings of the cell are superimposed on each other.
A line graph with seven green lines. A blue horizontal line labeled threshold is one third from the bottom of the graph. The six lines are below the threshold line and one labeled action potential has one sharp peak above the threshold to the top of the graph.
