Propagation of Action Potential

Video Summary:
Action potential at any region brings the voltage to the threshold in the nearby region. So voltage-gated Na channels open and action potential is generated in that area also. In this way, the action potential spreads in all directions away from the point of stimulus. Its amplitude remains the same as it spreads. In myelinated fiber, the axon is insulated by Schwann cells or oligodendrocytes. They have uncovered areas at regular intervals called nodes of Ranvier. Here the action potential jumps from node to node. It's called saltatory conduction and it's fast and energy-efficient.

As always, indian guy came in clutch. Crystal clear, easy to understand.

[khardunglineage]

This is by far the best short video on conduction of nerve impulse❤

[Priyanshi-nv]

Not bragging but the way an Indian can explain is unbeatable❤ Fabulous

[asherw]

Nonstop neuron, whoever you are, thank you.

[jessuka]

This video is amazing. It taught me what two hours of lecture couldn't. Thank you for your hard work.

[ajinkyadon]

Best animation for axonal physiology! Good job

[meology]

honestly thank you, i genuinely required this demonstration since i couldn't really comprehend how positive/negative charges were transmitted in saltatory conduction

[스윗호랑]

Thank you so much for this video!! I have been struggling with action potential for so long but I understood the concept after this video, you are the best channel for neuroscience!! Indian guys on youtube rocks!

[alyagha]

thank you so much for creating the best video on this topic, you explain it perfectly.

[mahdiehfalahatgar]

Thank you for taking the time to make this public video. It was plupefect. I am from Iran🥰

[madhvisingh]

Thank you so much..i was finally able to understand..i had watched so many video but with this I'm able to visualise now.. Great work 👍👍👌

[snipperqueen]

thank you helped for my psych 2 class!

[denkmemer._.]

this was the best explaination and i easily undersood than anyother videos i watched 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[arpitapattnayak]

One of the best video i must say simple n crystal clear

[cpbeauvoir]

Seriously, the best video on propagation of actiona potential. After watching a few videos, this is the one that explains it so clear and simple.

[bekab]

Thank you so much. You explained it very easily. After watching 2hrs of my instructor's lecture, i was very confused. but you made it so simple to understand. Thanks again.

[Positive_Talks]

Thanks for making our concept more easier

[dthr]

Than you Doctor♥️
Following you From Egypt 🇪🇬

[siddhant]

No need to praise you. You are beyond that.

[yogendrapawar]

Hands down
The best and easy to understand video Ive came across
Thank you so much
