What is the duration of graded potentials?
What is the duration of graded potentials?

Depolarization is due to the net flow of positive charges into the cell or negative charges to regions outside the cell. Hyperpolarization is due to the net flow of negative charges into the cell or positive charges outside the cell. Such changes in ion permeability are often termed changes in the ______

Action potentials are qualitatively different from graded potentials in every way. They initially have relatively large depolarizations by ~15– 20mV. The potential lasts for 1–5 ms, and they have a threshold of about ~ −55 mV. 3. Action potentials are propagated over long distances along the ______
