Q
What creates the membrane potential?
A
The differences in ion concentration, inside and outside the cell
2
Q
What is the Hodgkin-huxley model?
A
An electrical model that describes how action potential in neurons are initiated and propagated

Q
Facts about the action potential?
A
- The spike propagates through the axon at a speed that is essentially independent of the way it was started
