Question

Name one type of cell which is excitable in nature.

Answer 1

Excitable cells:

1. Excitable cells, such as nerve cells or neurons, have the ability to be electrically activated, resulting in the creation of action potentials.
2. The membranes of neuron cells are polarised.
3. When various ions contact the membrane, the polarity shifts, and the neuron becomes activated.
4. Nerve impulse transmission requires the ability to become polarised or depolarized.
5. Excitability and conductivity are two unique characteristics of the neuron membrane.
