Depolarization phase of
Action Potential
Quick review
What are the charges across the cell membrane
in resting membrane potential state?
Activation gate:
Near the outside of the cell membrane
Deactivation gate:
Near the inside of the cell membrane
Closed gate of Channel Opening of the gate at
threshold
Na permeability increases to
5000 to 10000 fold
Inactivation of the sodium gate
Why is there inactivation of the
Sodium gates at the peak of
action potential……..?
Electrochemical equilibrium
