Action Potential Boardworks

The document discusses the structure and function of neurons and the nervous system. It explains that neurons have a cell body, axon, and dendrites and transmit electrochemical signals during their resting state and when an action potential is triggered. It also notes that different strengths of stimuli can affect the axon's response and that mechanoreceptors in the skin help detect touch sensations.
