Summary Introduction

To explain:

The steps involved in the generation of the action potential.

Concept introduction:

The steps involved in the generation of the action potential occur after the neuron receives an impulse. The other impulses arrive immediately after the first stimulus and lead to the generation of a temporal summation response. The threshold potential is reached for generating an action potential. The wave of the polarization and depolarization spreads across the neurons.
