Question:

Describe negative and positive feedback loops in action potential

Author: Donata Nshimyicizanye



Answer:

Positive feedback loop: membrane depolarisation opens more Na+ channels and accelerates further depolarisation (Ensures fast excitation) Negative feedback loop: membrane depolarisation opens more K+ channels which slows down depolarisation and promotes membrane repolarisation (Ensures recovery from excitation)
