Question:

Action potential move along neuron as a wave of depolarisation

Author: Eva K 3sq0



Answer:

- When an action potential happens, some of the S ions that enter neuron diffuse sideways - This causes S ion channels in the next region of neuron to open - S ions diffuse into that part - Causing wave of depolarisation to travel along neuron - The wave moves away from the parts of the membrane in the refractory period coz these parts cant fire an action potential
