Action Potential Physiology (FULL VIDEO)

The video explains the action potential in neurons, focusing on the role of the axon, sodium-potassium pump, and ion channels. It describes how action potentials propagate along the axon, the function of sodium and potassium channels, and the phases of depolarization and repolarization. A graphical representation of these processes is also provided.
