action potential
Process of conducting an impulse. Activates the neuron --> the neuron depolarizes --> then
repolarizes
Threshold potential
Point at which depolarization must reach in order to initiate an action potential
Hypokalemia and action potentials
HYPERpolarized (more negative, ex. -100). Less excitable. Decreased neuromuscular
excitability: weakness, smooth muscle atony, paresthesia, cardiac dysrhythmias
