1
New cards

depolarization

the sodium ion channel opens the inside of neuron becomes more positive

2
New cards

repolarization

sodium channel closes and the cell becomes negative

3
New cards

hyper-polarization

the inside of the cell is more negative than resting potential due to potassium ion channels closing

sodium potassium pump

  1. 3 sodium ions bind to receptors

  2. ATP is hydrolyzed and releases energy, protein then changes shape

  3. sodium ions released

  4. 2 potassium ions bond to receptors

  5. ATP molecule binds causing protein to return to original shape

  6. potassium ions released
