Resting potential
Na+ channel
Supra-treshold
Sub-treshold
Sodium channel
Potassium channel
Ion channel
Properties of the Na+-channels
• fast opening
• “self amplification”
• inactivation
• refractory period (during this time
no further AP can be generated)
Properties of K+-channels
• slower opening
• no inactivaiton
• closed conformation only close to resting potential
• can result in after hyperpolarisation
