Each phase occursbecause of the particular gates that are open, allowing the flow of specificions.

Complete thesentences describing the events that occur during an action potential.

-

-An action potential will not occur unless the membrane potential at the trigger zone (the initial segement of the axon) reaches a level called threshold.


-When threshold is reached, voltage-gated sodium channels of the initial segment open briefly, allowing sodium to diffuse into the cell.


-As these ions enter the cell, the cell membrane undergoes depolarization, with the membrane potential increasing to a peak of approximately +30mV.


-As the peak of the action potential is reached, the sodium channels close and the voltage-gated potassium channels open, allowing these ions to diffuse out of the cell.


-As cations leave the cell, the membrane potential at that part of the membrane once again becomes negative. This phase of the action potential is called repolarization, because the resting membrane potential is being reestablished.


-The membrane potential actually dips lower than -70mV because the potassium channels do not close quickly enough. This phase is called hyperpolarization.

The changes in membrane potential that occurs during an action potential are due to the opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels.

the exterior of the cell has a net positive charge and the interior has a net negative charge

During depolarization, which of the following statements about voltage-gated ion channels is TRUE

Local and actionpotentials are distinctly different membrane phenomena. Local potentials thatoccur in the postsynaptic membrane of the dendrites and soma of a neuron aredecremental, reversible, and graded. Local potentials are required in order toinitiate an action potential, which then serves to quickly propagateinformation over long distances via irreversible,all-or-none reactions.
