Chapter 8, Problem 18RQ
Summary Introduction

Introduction: The conduction of action potential is initiated by the change in the K+ concentration of blood, which affects the resting membrane potential. The rise in the action potential is due to the increase in the Na+ permeability, and the falling phase occurs due to the increase in the K+ permeability.
