A neuron has received enough stimulation to fire an action potential; it also has been treated with TEA, a K channel blocker. Which outcome is possible

Answer :

The cell will initially depolarize, but repolarization will be considerably more difficult because it solely uses ion pumps.

How will the action potential affected and remove external K+?

  • There will be an increase in the membrane potential.
  • Na+ leaves the cell along a gradient of concentration, reflecting an early outward current.
  • It makes the falling phase possible, enabling the action potential to complete its cycle.
  • Action potentials are produced when certain ions pass the neuronal membrane.
  • A stimulation causes the sodium channels to initially open.
  • Sodium ions rush inside the cell because the inside of the neuron is more negatively charged than the outside and contains a greater number of sodium ions.
