Which of the following statements is TRUE of the action potential?
A. At the peak of the action potential there are approximately an equal amount of open voltage gated sodium and potassium channels
B. To reach threshold the action potential requires the activity of sodium potassium pump
C. During the rising phase (prior to the peak) of the action potential more voltage gated sodium channels are open than voltage gated potassium channels
D. None of the choice options are TRUE of the action potential
E. The overshoot phase (below resting membrane potential) is a result of voltage gated sodium channels taking a long time to close.
Sodium –potassium pump is one of the major biochemical pathways leading to critical physiological processes. It is studied under the domain of physiology.
