5 Questions
What is excitability in the context of neurons?
The ease at which a neuron responds with action potentials to a stimulus
When can the Na+ channel conduct Na+ current?
When the activation gates are open and the inactivation gate is not closed
What happens with depolarization in relation to the m-gate open probability?
The open probability of the m-gate increases
What is the effect of a bigger depolarization step on the m-gate open probability?
The m-gate open probability increases quicker
What is the role of channel kinetics in understanding neuronal excitability?
To understand the way the ion channel gates are dependent on membrane voltage and time
