What is an action potential? To put it simply‚ it is a message that is sent down the nervous line. The message is written and is sent from the central nervous system. That message is addressed to muscles or glands. This essay will explain what happens before‚ during‚ and after an interneuron action potential. To accurately define an action potential‚ it is part of the incredible course of events that occur during the firing of a neuron. When a neuron is not firing signals‚ the interior of the

POTENTIAL ENERGY DIAGRAM In physics the terms of mechanical energy usually refers to Potential energy (U) and Kinetic Energy (K). In the absence of non-conservative‚ or dissipative forces‚ these energies obey the law of conservation of energy‚ or ΔU + ΔK = 0. That is‚ when a system is only acting under the influence of conservative forces its total energy content never changes‚ the energy just converts between forms. At any point in the cycle‚ the total energy is constant‚ U + K = Umax = Kmax

A major threat to ethics‚ according to Simon Blackburn‚ a philosophy professor at the University of Cambridge‚ is the threat of relativism.
