Chapter 11, Problem 19RAC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The action potential is generated after sending an electrical impulse down the axon by the neuron. The neurons tend to communicate with each other by generating action potential. The action potential is generated in four phases- depolarization, repolarization, afterpotential, and return to resting membrane potential.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following BEST explains the inside negative potential in resting
neurons?
sodium flows down its electrochemical gradient through sodium-selective channels that
are open in resting neurons
membrane transporters produce a large sodium concentration gradient by selectively
accumulating sodium ions outside the cell
the membrane of a resting neuron is more permeable to potassium ions than to other ions
present
a larger concentration of chloride ions are found inside the cell making the inside of the
cell more negative compared to the outside of the cell
Repolarization occurs because
Multiple Choice
more sodium ions diffuse into the cell than
potassium ions diffuse out of it.
potassium ions continue to diffuse out of the cell
after the inactivation gates of the voltage-gated
sodium ion channels begin to close.
the increased potassium ion permeability lasts
slightly longer than the time required to bring the
membrane potential back to its resting level.
the extra efflux of potassium ions causes the
membrane potential to become slightly more
positive than the resting value.
the inactivation gates of the voltage-gated sodium
ion channels begin to open and the diffusion of
sodium ions decreases.
Which of the following takes place during an action potential?
Na+ ions exit the cell causing depolarization
Repolarization occurs when K+ ions enter the cell
The membrane becomes more negative during depolarization
K+ ions start the action potentials
Na+ enters the cell making the membrane potential positive.
