Depolarization due to
Na+ influx
Repolarization due to
K+ efflux
Hyperpolarization due to
K+ efflux
After AP, K+ channels stay open, membrane potential approaches
K+ equilibrium
Plateau of action potential
Ca++ in, K+ out
Resting membrane potential is achieved by
K+ efflux
Resting membrane potential is maintained by
Na+/K+ ATPase pump
Depolarization in Organ of Corti
K+ influx into hair cell
Utricle hair cell depolarization
K+ influx
Neuronal repolarization due to
K+ efflux
After hyperpolarization, which ion increases
K+
Action potential reduced due to
Hyponatremia
Electrolyte loss in 40% burn affecting AP
Hyponatremia
AP height and slope decreased in
Hyponatremia
Drug blocking Na+ channels effect
Blocks action potential
Nerve in Na+-free medium
No action potential
Na+ inactivation gate closing phase
Absolute refractory period
Local cell response to increasing AP stimulus
Increased amplitude
True about action potential
Subsequent APs cannot summate
Excitation of nerve trunk
Compound action potential
Depolarization recorded after nerve trunk stimulation
Compound action potential
AP in myelinated fibers occurs at
Nodes of Ranvier
Resting membrane potential maintained by
Na+/K+ ATPase pump
Resting membrane potential mainly due to
Outward diffusion of K+
