what is the connection between threshold potential and action potential?

Open in App

Solution

Threshold potential is the minimum potential (obtained by stimulation) at which opening of sufficiently Na+ voltage-gated ion channels resulting increase in potential reaches up to Action potential. whereas Action potential is the state of neuron having sufficient energy to open ion channels in adjacent parts of neurons.
