These are excitable and action potential cells, because when they receive a stimulus they activate an action potential, these stimuli are electrical, chemical, mechanical and photonic. The action potential changes rapidly in the membrane potential in response to a stimulus and returns a resting potential. The action potential has several stages, and its main characteristics are that nothing is produced or produced when generated is maintained and propagated, the time of the voltage-dependent channels remain open. The types of the action potential are spike potential, plateau potential, potential and rhythmic potentials.
