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.

Which is the first step in a neuron production of an action potential?

Depolarization is the first event in action potential. During depolarization, the sodium gates open and the membrane depolarizes.


What changes occur to voltage-gated Na and K channels at the peak of depolarization?

Inactivation gates of voltage-gated Na+ channels close, while activation gates of voltage-gated K+ channels open.


What tends to open the sodium gates across a neuron's membrane?

Sodium gates across a neuron's membrane tend to open in response to changes in membrane potential, specifically during depolarization. This occurs when the neuron's membrane is stimulated by a neurotransmitter or another signal, causing a local change in voltage. If this depolarization reaches a certain threshold, voltage-gated sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to flow into the neuron and further propagate the action potential.


What channels are open during depolarization and during repolarization?

During depolarization Na channels are open During repolarization K channels are open

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.
