voltage-gated ion channels
Describe gating mechanism existing in channels?
G protein-gated ion channels are specific ion channels located in the plasma membrane.

When the nervous system signals a muscle to contract the ion channels open?
sodium ion

What is a stimulus gated channel?
There are voltage-gated ion channels and ligand-gated ion channels, and since both are stimuli the term stimulus-gated is a redundancy.
What is it that ion channels may be always or have?
They may be always open or they may have close gated channels
