It occurs when stimuli cause a slight change in surface charge, which triggers the opening of voltage-gated ion channels, thus further depolarizing the cell.
This phenomenon propagates at speeds up to one hundred meters per second and involves potential swings of about 130 millivolts. It occurs when stimuli cause a slight change in surface charge, which triggers the opening of voltage-gated ion channels, thus further depolarizing the cell. Positive sodium ions flood the cell, temporarily reversing the electric polarization of the cell membrane until it is restored by the potassium ion pumping. FTP, this summarizes what method of nerve impulse transmission in neurons?
