This is the behavior of the neuron when it is NOT being stimulated. 1. Describe what is happening to the ions. Be sure to zoom in to better see the ions. Sodium Gated Channel Potassium Gated Channel Sodium Leak Channel Potassium Leak Channel Step 2: Channels Continue Step 1 and allow the simulation to run for a minute. Do not adjust any settings. 2. Now observe the channels. Are they opened or closed? Which kinds of channels are working?

1. Why does the action potential not go back to where it came from? (Multiple answers possibly) the absolute refractory period prevents this from happening Sodium voltage gated ions in the area where the action potential just came from are fully activated or inactivated Sodium voltage gated ions bind to the Na+ ions, preventing them from diffusing backwards Na+ only diffuses forward in the axon 2. When neurotransmitter binds to _______________ at the dendrites, it results in a _____________ potential Ligand gated ion channels | action Voltage gated ion channels | action Voltage gated ion channels | graded Ligand gated ion channels | graded
