a crowd doing the wave at a sporting event is an analogy for communication within the neuron via the
glial cells
action potential
resting potential
sensory neurons
When an axon is at rest, it is polarized with the fluid inside being more negative compared to the outside due to ion - concentration differences. The "wave" in a crowd is an analogy for the action potential which is a wave - like electrical signal that travels along the neuron.
