41
Q

What are the steps for how the action potential moves down the axon

A
  1. Neuron at “RMP” (-70mV)
  2. Stimulus occurs
  3. Some of the Na+ channels open
  4. Na+ enters neuron
  5. If enough Na+ enters, reaches “Threshold” (-55mV)
  6. Begin an Action Potential - “Impulse”
  7. Open more Na+ channels (voltage-gated Na+ channel)
  8. Lots of Na+ rushes into neuron
  9. Inside of neuron becomes positive (DEPOLARIZE)
  10. Additional Na+ open downstream toward axon
  11. After Depolarization = close Na+ channels
  12. Open K+ channel
  13. K+ rushes out of neuron (REPOLARIZE)
  14. Close K+ channels
  15. Na+/K+ Pump w/ ATP: pumping until return to RMP
