Answer: We can express some synyms for action potential, such as, AP (action potential), nerve impulse, and conduction signal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nerve cells transmit information to each other to the others through electrical impulses called action potentials (PA), making the communication of neurons similar to a network of electronic circuits. Generally, action potentials are dependent on the activation of sodium channels (Na +), which open in response to variations in membrane potential and are therefore characterized as voltage-dependent.
