Action potential ( 動作電位 ) 當細胞膜受到刺激而使得細胞電位產生隨時間變動的現象 神經細胞受到刺激, 會將動作電位經由神經軸索 (axon) 傳遞下去 心臟細胞運用動作電位的傳遞, 使得整個心臟可以同步收縮, 以最大的力量將血液送到全身各處 9

All-or-none law ( 全有或全無定律 ) 全有 如果刺激的強度和時間足夠大, 超過門檻值, 就可以引起一個完整而大小和持續時間固定的動作電位 增大刺激的強度或時間並不會影響動作電位的大小或持續時間 全無 如果刺激的強度和時間沒超過門檻值, 就不會有動作電位產生 12
Refractory period ( 不反應期 ) 神經或肌肉細胞無法對刺激起反應的期間 這發生於前一個刺激的反應尚在持續中或者剛結束的時候 不反應期可再分為絕對不反應期 (absolute refractory period) 和相對不反應期 (relative refractory period) 在絕對不反應期, 神經細胞對所有的刺激都不會反應, 不管刺激的強度有多大 相對不反應期則是對原來刺激的強度不反應, 只對強度更大的刺激有反應 13

Electroneurography (ENG) 測量末梢神經的傳導速度和對刺激起反應的潛伏時間 神經傳導速度 (nerve conducion velocity, NCV) 影響神經傳導速度的主因 : (1) 神經纖維直徑越大, 傳導速度越大 (2) 有髓鞘的神經傳導速度比較大 (3) 健康正常的神經通常比受傷的神經傳導快 28
