Propagation with decrement
Velocity of excitation propagation (depolarisation front) is a function
of:
•Intensity of local currents
•Resistance outside the conductor (myelin)
•Resistance of the conductor (indirect relationship)

• RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL IS A CONDITION
OF EXCITABILITY
• IT DEPENDS ON HIGH RESTING MEMBRANE
CONDUCTIVITY FOR POTASSIUM
ACTION POTENTIAL IS A PROPAGATED ELECTRICAL
SIGNAL GENERATED BY FAST SODIUM CURRENT
INTO THE CELLx
• ACTION POTENTIAL REPRESENTS UNIT OF
INFORMATION
• CODING OF INFORMATION IN THIS SYSTEM IS
PERFORMED BY CHANGED FREQUENCY OF
ACTION POTENTIALS
