The Home Delivered Meals Program provides nutritionally-balanced, hot meals during the day to homebound persons. Some people also receive cold, bagged meals so that they will have food available in the evening as well. Eligibility.
Potential, Spike. a large and sudden change in electrical potential that accompanies excitation in nerve and muscle cells and fibers. In physiology, the term âspike potentialâ is often used as a synonym for action potential. In clinical electroencephalography spike potential refers to gross potentials reaching 10 milliseconds in duration that are outwardly similar to the action potential of a nerve.
The main wave in the action potential of a nerve; it is followed by negative and positive afterpotentials. potential. 1. existing and ready for action, but not active. 2. electric tension or pressure. action potential. see action potential. after-potential. the period following termination of the spike potential. membrane potential. see membrane potential. resting potential. the potential difference across the membrane of a normal cell at rest. spike potential
