Create a model in the space below that demonstrates how action potentials ensue. A sample model can be found under the Unit Packet tab on Bb. Start off by placing the items provided in the word bank into boxes. Upon filling in the boxes with the appropriate terms, represent the physiological relationships between them by drawing in arrows to connect the terms. Finally, label your arrows with verbs of your choice to describe their relationship. An example is provided to help you get started. You are allowed to use terms more than once.
