Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction 

A cell location's membrane potential experiences an action potential when it rapidly rises and falls. Subsequently, this depolarization causes similar depolarization in nearby areas. Excitable cells, which are a group of animal cell types that include neurons, muscle cells, and some plant cells, exhibit action potentials. Additionally excitable cells include some endocrine cells, including some anterior pituitary gland cells and pancreatic beta cells.
