Physiology
Action Potential
The sequence of changes that take place in the membrane potential when a threshold stimulus is applied following its
restoration to the resting level is called action potential.
SAMPLE_NEET.indd 3 28/09/17 2:01 PM

• Parts of action potential
Part of Action Potential Feature
Depolarization Na+ influx
Firing level After initial 15 mV of depolarization (once it reaches the threshold) the
rate increases. This is firing level.
Upstroke phase Rapid depolarization phase caused by rapid Na+ influx
Overshoot Part of action potential during which the membrane potential is
positive
Repolarization or down stroke phase Rapid return of membrane toward RMP. It is due to
• Closing of Na+ channels
• Opening of K+ channels
Undershoot or hyperpolarization Membrane potential becomes more negative than its initial RMP. It is
due to leaky potassium channels

Temporal association (Most important criterion of causal
association)
• Cause precedes effect or effect follows cause
• Considers order of appearance and length of interval
between exposure and disease
• Established by concurrent cohort study
Strength of association • Relative risk—cohort study
• Odds ratio—case control study
Specificity of association • Disease under study is caused only by risk factor under study
• Most difficult criteria to establish
• Weakest criterion of causal association
Consistency of association Results are replicable in different settings and by different
