Summation:Describes how sometimes amount of neurotransmitter from single impulse is not enough to trigger an AP in postsynaptic neurone (threshold level not reached) However if amount of neurotransmitter builds up sufficiently from multiple impulses to reach threshold then AP will be triggered

Amount Neurotransmitter Ap Define Summation Describes Single Impulse

Summation describes how neurotransmitter from a single impulse may not reach the threshold in the postsynaptic neuron. However, if sufficient neurotransmitter accumulates from multiple impulses to reach the threshold, an action potential will be triggered.

La sumación describe cómo la cantidad de neurotransmisor de un solo impulso puede no ser suficiente para alcanzar el umbral en la neurona postsináptica; sin embargo, si la cantidad de neurotransmisor se acumula a través de múltiples impulsos hasta alcanzar el umbral, se desencadenará un potencial de acción.
