    1. An action potential occurs when a neuron is stimulated. 2. During depolarization, sodium channels open allowing sodium ions to rush into the neuron, making the intracellular environment positive. 3. During repolarization, sodium channels close and potassium channels open, allowing potassium ions to flow out of the neuron and repolarize the intracellular environment back to the resting potential.

    Action potential

    Na channel closes and K channel


    open in this point. Na and K 
    because it is abrupt out.

    Na and K in this point, So Na-K


    pump is working to restore them

    Stimuli affect
    here, Na channel
    open in this point

    0.75 1.5

    Point -1- is Depolarization Point -2- is Repolarization Point -3- is polarization

    1. Stimuli affect cell body 1. Na channel close, and is not 1. The neuron does not receive
    or dendrites open by any stimuli and send signal.
    2. Na channel open, K 2. K channel open. 2. Na is low, K and negative
    channel close. 3. K ion abrupt outward flow protein are high inside the
    3. Na ion rush into the cell 4. Interior becomes negative cell
    4. Interior becomes 5. Na ion is higher and K ion is 3. Na- K pump is working
    positive. low inside of the cell so.. 4. All Na channels are closed
    5. Na ions increase inside 6. Na-K working to restore these and some K channels are
    the cell concentrations close
    6. The neuron is +40mV 7. Takes about 0.75 ms 5. Na cannot diffuse, K free
    7. Takes about 0.75 ms 8. The neuron cannot generate move and tend to move out,
    8. The neuron change from another action potential until protein negative cannot
    negative to positive. the resting potential is diffuse because it is too
    returned. large.
    9. The neuron change from 6. Interior is negative
    positive to negative 7. The neuron is -70 mV
