Q

Action potential run through

A
  • rest: negative RMP, K+ flux through leak channels
  • local depolarization: stimulation occurs-ligand gated Na channels
  • threshold: Nav channels open
  • overshoot: Na+ flux
  • repolarization: Na+ slows, K+ rises
  • hyperpolarization: Na+ slows, K+ rises
  • at rest: RMP is re-attained due to K+ leak
