Time course and phases of a nerve cell going from resting potential to action potential

Time course and phases of a nerve cell going from resting potential to action potential
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: Nerve cells fire once the threshold of excitation is reached. During the action potential positively charged ions rush inside the cell membrane, creating a net positive change within the cell. Positively charged ions are then forced out of the cell as it returns to its resting potential.
