An action potential does not move back wards in the axon because..
a.Voltage-gated sodium channels behind the action potential are inactivated.
b. Potassium leak channels no longer let potassium ions through
c. Voltage-gated sodium channels are open
d. Mechanically-gated channels prevent outflow of sodium
e. Voltage-gated potassium channels are closed
Homework Answers
When the action potential is generated, the membrane gets depolarized because of opening of the voltage-gated sodium channels due to which the sodium ions enters the cell down its concentration gradient.
The action potential in the axon is unable to move backward because the refractory period does not permit it to do so. The correct option is: Voltage-gated sodium channels are inactivated behind the action potential.
The explanation for the correct option:
There are two kinds of refractory periods that is absolute refractory period and the relative refractory period. The absolute refractory period occurs when the membrane is unable to generate another action potential because the voltage-gated sodium ion channel gets inactivated.
The explanation for the incorrect options is:
- The inactivation of the voltage-gated sodium ion channel prevents the sodium ion to enter into the cell. There is no involvement of mechanical-gated channels during this process.
- The voltage gated sodium ion channel gets opened when the action potential is generated.
- The voltage-gated potassium channels gets closed when the cell comes back to its resting potential.

Assume a mutation of the gene coding for the voltage-gated sodium channel resulted in channels that do not have the ball and chain part of the protein. Which of the following would you expect to see? a. A change in the ion selectivity of the channel of the mutated channels, allowing ions other than sodium to move through it. b. A change in the voltage sensitivity of the channel so that it does not open until more depolarized voltages. c....

Ion channels are involved with generating action potentials. Below is an electrical profile of a neuronal action potential. In the boxes below list whether the channels are all open, all closed, opening, or closing at each of the letters shown in the profile. (Opening implies that channels were "all closed" and are moving toward their "all open" state. Closing indicates the opposite. Use the term "closing" to represent the inactivated state of the Na+ channels.) (7 pts) 1. Channel Type...

If necessary, refer to Animation: Chemical Synapses. When an action potential reaches the axon terminal: sodium ions are released from the axon terminal, enter the cell body of the postsynaptic neuron through its sodium channels, and may initiate an action potential in that neuron. neurotransmitter molecules are released from the axon terminal and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, causing either an inhibitory hyperpolarization or an excitatory depolarization. neurotransmitter molecules are released from the axon terminal, bind to and...

According to the plot of an action potential, select the answer that is false. Membrane Potential (mv) The voltage gated sodium channel is inactivated at time point 3. The membrane is repolarizing at time point 3. Voltage gated potassium channels are open at time point 4. The membrane cannot undergo another action potential at time point 4. The voltage gated sodium channels are closed at time point 2.
