Nervous System
Action Potential
-
Step 2: If threshold potential is reached,all Na+ channels open and the membrane depolarizes.
Step 3: K+ rushes out after Na+ rushes in, repolarizes membrane
Step 4: Membrane is hyperpolarized- too many K+ leave the cell. Membrane potential dips below resting potential.
