b: Toilet
What: A Neuron is Like Toilet
1: Both have a resting potential:
Waterstored in the tank has potential energy due togravity.
2:
Both have an action potential:
When you flush, an "impulse" is sent down the sewer pipe.
3:
Both have a threshold: A minimum quantity of
water is required to create a siphon.
4:
Both have a refractory period: A toilet cannot be
flushed while its tank is filling up
