In this paper, the author introduce a student-oriented simulation system for a popular model of the sodium spike that covers the principles of membrane excitation, essential for an understanding of neuronal function. The approach here employs the popular Android operating system for student practice to build a Java-based simulation of the well-known Hodgkin-Huxley theoretical model that has long provided insights in this field. Despite totally written in Java, the strip-chart display and user-triggered stimulation capabilities have been readily executed even on low-cost tablets and relatively primitive personal computers. By employing user-defined membrane parameters, together with its ability to program numerous types of membrane stimulation, this modeling system may be quite productive in helping students of general physiology and medicine to more quickly and accurately obtain a strong understanding of the sodium spike and its related phenomena.}, pages = {1--7}, title = {An Android implementation of the Hodgkin-Huxley membrane model for student practice}, volume = {19}, year = {2019} }
