- always open
- K+ channels
• Gated ion channels:
- closed until opened by specific signal
- Na+ channels

Action Potentials• “Electricity” that cause depolarization and
repolarization
• Change resting membrane potential by activating
gated ion channels
• Local Current:
movement of Na+ which causes inside of cell to be more positive (depolarize)
![Page 24: Nervous System. 2 Functions 1. Sensory input: sensory receptors respond to stimuli 2. Integration: brain and spinal cord process stimuli 3. Control of](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56649e615503460f94b5d025/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• If enough Na+ enters then threshold is reached and more Na+ channels open
• Once threshold is reached all or none law applies
• Action potentials continue until Na+ channels close, K+ channels open, and repolarization occurs
• Sodium/potassium pump restores24
