During this phase, the membrane potential undershoots and reaches below - 70 mV before the ions regulate and the cell is back in its resting state of - 70 mV. What do we mean by action potential? Action potential is what is achieved when the membrane potential goes from - 70 mV to -...
膜电位(Membrane potential) Resting Potential 在没有外界刺激的情况下,膜内外具有电位差, 称为静息电位 (Resting Potential): 。典型值为‐70mv. 此时的细胞膜状态称为极化状态(Polarization) 膜结构中的钠钾泵蛋白在消耗ATP的情况下膜内高钾和膜外高钠的状态,是产生各种细胞生物电现象的基础而它们通过两种离子...
In the normal resting state, the plasma membrane of nerve and muscle cells generates a transmembrane electrical potential difference 鈥 the intracellular surface of the membrane being approximately 70鈥 80 millivolts (mV) negative to the extracellular surface. This is a result of markedly different...
This prevents any sudden stimulus (i.e. a new influx of Na + ) from triggering a new action potential… at least until the sodium/potassium pump is able to restore the membrane to its regular resting state. So, we end up with the sodium influx of an action potential at one patch of...

A resting potential is the normal state of an axon, where ions travel in and out of the neuron. It's characterized by a higher concentration of potassium ions inside the axon and sodium ions outside, resulting in a negative charge inside the axon. When the steps of action potential begin...
This phase is the repolarization phase, whose purpose is to restore the resting membrane potential. Repolarization always leads first to hyperpolarization, a state in which the membrane potential is more negative than the default membrane potential. But soon after that, the membrane establishes again ...
During repolarization, the fast Na+ channels revert to their resting state of closed but activatable. The action potential spreads passively throughout regions of ventricular cardiomyocytes through the gap junction connections between cells.

They do not change to their closed, resting (excitable) state until sometime after the membrane potential has fully repolarized. The ERP acts as a protective mechanism in the heart by preventing multiple, compounded action potentials from occurring (i.e., it limits the frequency of ...
What is the function of the action potential?Resting Potential:The resting potential is the electric potential of the inner neuronal plasma membrane and is around -70mV in humans. In this state, there is a high concentration of sodium ions outside the cell and a high concentration of ...
