Describe the sequence of events involved in the action potential from initiation and depolarization to hyperpolarization and the return to resting potential.

The neurons have different charges that can range from-40 to -90 mV. The initiation is the first segment of the axon iust past where the axon meets the cell body. During this process where the information is traveling till it meets with the axon terminal. Depolarization is the reduction of the membrane potential cause by Nat channels opening and causing that to enter the neuron. Hyperpolarization happens when the increase of polarity of a neuron is restored, which is caused by k+ channels opening and leaving the neuron. To remain at resting potential one of the main factors is the uneven distribution of ions between the outside and inside of the neuron.
