 There are two types of electrical impulses in the plant :
- * The action potentials have been shown to be involved in many internal regulation processes (growth synchronization, modulation of auxin metabolism, sensing of hydraulic signal, some 'moving' reactions, etc.), and are transmitted via the phloem. The term 'action potential' actually comes from the classical neurobiology.

- * The slow wave potential (also called variation potential) are induced in case of more severe wounds, and seem to be transmitted via the xylem.

 The action potentials are largely documented in the scientific literature and the most famous manifestation of it is the rapid reaction of 'sensitive' plants such as Mimosa pudica or the insect trap of Dionaea muscipula.
