46

oscilloscope
47
steps of an action potential
1. depolarization reaches threshold 2. depolarization increases PNa+ and PK+ 3. PNa+ shoots up, causing depolarization to +30mV 4. PNa+ decreases and potential depolarizes while PK+ increases 5. PK+ decreases and membrane potential goes back to rest
48
