Summary Introduction

To determine:

The effect of a chemical that blocks the voltage gated ion channels in the plasma membrane of a neuron on its ability to depolarize.

Introduction:

The voltage gated ion channels are those ion channels that open in response to changes in voltage across the plasma membrane. They play an important role in transmission of nerve impulse.
