#1
Front (Question)
What are the steps of an action potential
Back (Answer)
Step 1: The resting state Step 2: Depolarisation Step 3: Repolarisation Step 4: Hyperpolarisation Step
#2
Front (Question)
The action potential
Back (Answer)
If a stimulation that travels through the neuron is strong enough, the signal will continue through the axon of the neuron and this is what is the action potential. When this happens, the neuron fires.
#3
Front (Question)
Refer to the picture, and outline the steps.
Back (Answer)
Step 1 - Resting state Step 2- Stimulus initiates Depolarisation with Na+ in Step 3 - Repolarisation k+ out Step 4 - Hyperpolarisation Returns to resting state
