Electrotonic potential
text:
In physiology, electrotonus refers to the passive spread of charge inside a neuron and between cardiac muscle cells or smooth muscle cells. Passive means that voltage-dependent changes in membrane conductance do not contribute. Neurons and other excitable cells produce two types of electrical potential: Electrotonic potential, a non-propagated local potential, resulting from a local change in ionic conductance. When it spreads along a stretch of membrane, it becomes exponentially smaller (decrem
