Can Action Potential Move in Both Directions

It can if you artificially stimulate a nerve fiber in the middle; action potentials will spread from there in both directions. But if the stimulus begins at one end, there is only one direction it can go. That’s the normal case in neuron function.

Can an action potential travel in both directions?

So while action potentials *can* travel in both direction in some artificial circumstances, in normal conditions travel is in one direction. This is generally because the action potential is initiated at the proximal end of the axon.

In which direction does an action potential flow?

The impulse travels down the axon in one direction only, to the axon terminal where it signals other neurons.
