Summary Introduction

Introduction:

At the peak of action potential, the sodium channels close. The cell to come back to its resting potential, it has to get back to its negatively charged state. But the interior of the cell becomes slightly positive due to the intake of sodium ions. To counteract this, and to get back to resting state, the potassium ions start moving out of the already open potassium channels, and the electrical and concentration gradients help to push them out.
