In depolarization, voltage-gated sodium channels open first, allowing sodium ions into the cell, resulting in action potential generation. This is followed by voltage-gated potassium channels opening to repolarize the cell.

What ion is responsible for depolarization of hair cells of the spiral organ?

The potassium ion is responsible for depolarization of hair cells in the spiral organ. When deflected, potassium channels open, leading to an influx of potassium ions into the cell and depolarization of the cell membrane.


When the gates to the ion channels open they allow sodium ions to rush into the axon at which location FIRST?

When the gates to the ion channels open, sodium ions first rush into the axon at the axon hillock, which is the initial segment of the axon where it connects to the cell body. This influx of sodium ions causes depolarization, triggering an action potential that propagates along the axon. The rapid change in membrane potential at this location is crucial for the initiation of the nerve impulse.
