Explanation / Answer

Please find the answers below:

The action potential is the phenomenal system in the cells in which the voltage-gated ion channels play a crucial role in maintaining muscle/nerve impulse transmission. Importantly, it is an all-or-none process which suggests that either a complete achievement of the voltage potential is required for activation of the muscles/nerves or there occurs no activation. This holds true for action potential but not for graded potential. However, the action potentials add up to each other and this phenomenon is called summation of total action potentials. This phenomenon is crucial for activation of the muscles and enhances their response.

Thus, the answers can be found as below:

1. Action potential

2. Graded potential

3. Action or graded potential
