An action potential is caused by an influx of these ions into the cell?
sodium ions
Involves the influx of negative ions to depolarize the membrane?
Action Potential
Does action potential involve the influx of negative ions to depolarize the membrane?
No. The negative ions stay within the cell (neuron).An action potential begins (rising phase) with an influx of sodium, a positive ion or cation. The rising phase ends (falling phase) with an efflux of positive ions (potassium). The membrane potential is stabilized again with the action of the ATP dependent sodium-potassium pump.
What happens when a neuron is polarized?
When a neuron is polarized, usually by the influx of chloride ions into the neuron, it is incapable of creating an action potential (incapable of firing). Only when the neuron returns to a resting potential, via pumping ions back across the membrane, can it be depolarized (sodium ion influx) to generate an action potential.
Does action potential invole the influx of negative ions to depolarize the membrane?
First one must outflux negative ions because the inner cell membrane is already slightly negative.
An action potential is caused by an influx of these ions into the cell?
sodium ions
Involves the influx of negative ions to depolarize the membrane?
Action Potential
When hinding of the neurotransmitters with muscle membrane receptors causes the membrane to become permeable to sodium resulting in the influx of sodium ions and what membrane?
action potential of the sarcolemma(the membrane)
What causes an action potential when it binds the motor end plate?
Chemically gated sodium channels open up when neurotransmitters bind to receptors in the motor end plate. This causes an action potential along a muscle membrane or nerve cell.

What phase of cardiac muscle action potential caused by sodium ions entering cell?
The first phase of a cardiac action potential (or any action potential) involves influx of sodium ions. This phase may be called:The rising phaseThe depolarization phasePhase 0
Effects chlorine has on the generation and conduction of action potentials?
Influx of chloride ions into the neuron help to hyperpolarize the neuronal membrane, thus preventing the induction of an action potential. Therefore, chloride ions help to prevent generation of action potentials.
Does action potential invole the influx of negative ions to depolarize the membrane?
First one must outflux negative ions because the inner cell membrane is already slightly negative.
What is a Difference between hyperpolarizing and depolarizing graded potential?
A hyperpolarizing graded potential makes the cell more negative, typically caused by an influx of chloride ions or efflux of potassium ions. In contrast, a depolarizing graded potential makes the cell less negative, often due to an influx of sodium ions or calcium ions. Both types of potentials play a role in generating action potentials in neurons.
What is the reversal of the resting potential owing to an influx of sodium ions called?
Is called depolarization.
potential increases positively. This typically occurs due to?
an influx of sodium ions into a cell
