What cell gates open immediately after action potential peak?
Sodium and potassium voltage gated ion channels.
Immediately after a action potential has peaked which cell gate opens?

The channels that transport sodium and potassium within the axon are called?
ion
What effect does the opening of the potassium channels have on the charge difference across the neuron's membrane?
repolarization
Where does the sodium potassium release potassium ions?
The "fast" voltage-gated sodium channels open at -55 mV and close at about +60 mV. I found your question by attempting to find an answer to its second part which is "when [do]...potassium channels open..." and I have yet to find the answer to this myself! There are lots of graphs in physiology books which indicate it is at a voltage very close to that of the sodium channel but I have yet to find an actual figure! The important thing to know is that the potassium channels open at a similar time but are much slower at allowing potassium to flow out of the cell. The effect is that the influx of sodium rapidly brings the resting membrane potential from it's threshold potential of -55 mV to its peak of about +60 mV, at which point they close and become refractory. The slower potassium efflux then "catches up" and brings the membrane potential back down towards its resting value and actually causes a small over-shoot known as hyperpolarisation. The net change in cytosol concentration of the ions is minimal and quickly reversed by the magnificent Sodium-Potassium-ATPase. If you come across the answer to the opening voltage of the potassium channels, please let me know!
What passive channels are likely found in the Pacinian corpuscle?
The efflux of potassium ions is maintained by passive potassium channels.
What passive channels are likely found in the pacinian membrane?
The efflux of potassium ions is maintained by passive potassium channels.
What cell gates open immediately after action potential peak?
Sodium and potassium voltage gated ion channels.
In the membrane of a cell channels serve as what?
In the membrane of a cell, channels serve as passageways.
What impact does Lexapro have on potassium ion channels?
Lexapro, also known as Escitalopram is an antidepressant which blocks specific potassium channels in the CNS. While most specific to the HERG channel (Kv11.1) it has also been shown to effect Kv2.1 and Kv2.2 as well as Kv1.5 potassium channels
