Electricity in Action

This illustration showcases the electric nature of the human body, highlighting the vital role of electrical impulses in our daily lives. It highlights that electrical action potentials that develop due to polarisation and depolarisation allow human neurons to communicate via synapses, triggering the release of neurotransmitters and subsequent muscle cell contractions. Besides that it depicts the spinal cord as the control centre for this incredible process, enabling us to move and interact with the world.
