Critical reading means engaging in what you read by asking yourself questions such as, âwhat is the author trying to say?â or âwhat is the main argument being presented? Critical reading involves presenting a reasoned argument that evaluates and analyses what you have read.
Glial cells, sometimes called neuroglia or simply glia (Greek Î³Î»Î¯Î± and Î³Î»Î¿Î¯Î± glue; pronounced in English as either /ËÉ¡liËÉ/ or /ËÉ¡laÉªÉ/), are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Action potential. Several types of cells support an action potential, such as plant cells, muscle cells, and the specialized cells of the heart (in which occurs the cardiac action potential). However, the main excitable cell is the neuron, which also has the simplest mechanism for the action potential.
