The following are the main steps in the generation of an action potential. 1. Sodium channels are inactivated. 2. Voltage-gated potassium channels open and potassium moves out of the cell, initiating repolarization. 3. Sodium channels regain their normal properties. 4. A graded depolarization brings an area of an exeitable membrane to threshold. 5. A temporary hyperpolarization occurs. 6. Sodium channel activation occurs. 7. Sodium ions enter the cell and depolarization occurs. What is the proper sequence of these events? A) 4, 6, 7, 3, 2, 5, 1 B) 4, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5 C) 6, 7, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5 D) 2, 4, 6, 7, 1, 3, 5 E) 4, 2, 5, 6, 7, 3, 1

B) 4, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5

Explanation:

Action potential, the change in electrical potential associated with the passage of an impulse along the membrane of exciting cell. The order of steps in generation of action potential is-4. A graded depolarization brings an area of an excitable membrane to threshold.→ 6. in excitable membrane, after that, Sodium channel get activated,→ 7. aftre that Sodium ions enter the cell and depolarization occurs,→1. after that, then Sodium channels are inactivated,→ 2. Voltage-gated potassium channels open and potassium moves out of the cell, initiating repolarization, →3. Sodium channels regain their normal properties,→ 5A temporary hyperpolarization occurs.
