Cardiovascular System
... In excitable tissue, an action potential at any one point on the cell membrane leads to the adjacent portion of the membrane becoming excited as well. Thus, the action potential along the cell is transmitted which leads to the creation of an impulse. Once an impulse has been generated, it will trave ...
