An initial stimulus triggers an action potential in a sensory receptor, depolarizing the first region of the membrane. This depolarization then acts as a stimulus for the adjacent region, creating a wave of depolarization along the axon.
يحفز المنبه الأولي جهد الفعل في المستقبل الحسي، مما يؤدي إلى إزالة استقطاب المنطقة الأولى من الغشاء. تعمل هذه المنطقة كمنبه للمنطقة المجاورة، مما يخلق موجة مستمرة من إزالة الاستقطاب على طول المحور العصبي.
| Front | initial stimuli, depolarising 1st region, wave of depolarisation |
|---|---|
| Back | initial stimuli triggers action potential in sensory receptor, 1st region of membrane now depolarised, (this acts as stimuli for next region depolarising), process continues along axon forming wave of depolarisation |
