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 Action Potential: An Overview. â¢ The action potential is a large change in membrane potential from a resting value of about -70. millivolts to a peak of about +30 millivolts, and back to -70 millivolts again. â¢ The action potential results from a rapid change in the permeability of the neuronal membrane to. sodium and potassium.
