action potential.

Sometimes my eyes get red.

repolarization.

Trips to government buildings aren't what they used to be, thanks to the "Occupy" movement.

transmembrane potential.

When you think about depolarization and repolarization in terms of television -- it still doesn't help. Learning this stuff just straight up sucks.

refractory period.

The membrane does not respond to additional depolarizing stimuli from the time an action potential begins until the normal resting potential has stabilized.
The refractory period is like a baby who's finally asleep and ain't gettin' any sleepier.

repolarization.

I don't do well drawing televisions.

equilibrium potential.

Tragically great knowledge has been lost in the translation of the popular dialect "nerdspeak".

neural activity stages.

For some people this process can take up to a full minute.

neurilemma.

It's in all of us.

axon hillock.

The named terms are found very close together. That's all.

microglia.

Inside your head there really are migrations happening. Because that isn't astonishingly weird at all.

myelated axon.

This is probably too far from a beach to be appropriate.

neuroglia.

Which is better? They're close, I know.

bursa.

I'd name a country after a part in my knee-joint. It's a cool name.

xiphoid process.

Alien 0 - Human 1.

vertebra components.

And the answer is the lobster. Because it has an exoskeleton and the vertebra does not. If your vertebra does have an exoskeleton, you are dead.
