Using the figure of an action potential provided, place the following main steps in the
generation of an action potential in the correct order starting from the beginning of an
action potential.
+30-
+10-
-10-
action
-30-
-50-
Threshold
-70
-90-
3
Time (msec)
a graded depolarization brings an area of an excitable membrane to
threshold
a temporary hyperpolarization occurs
voltage-gated sodium (Na*) channels regain their normal properties
sodium ions (Na*) enter the cell and further depolarization occurs
voltage-gated sodium (Na*) channel activation occurs
voltage-gated potassium (K*) channels fully open and potassium (K*)
moves out of the cell, initiating repolarization
voltage-gated sodium (Na*) channels are inactivated
Membrane potential (mV)
