Card 11 / 38:
What are the opposite roles of voltage-gated sodium channels and voltage-gated potassium channels?
The opening of voltage-gated sodium channels, followed by the influx of Na + , transmits an Action Potential after the membrane has sufficiently depolarized. The delayed opening of potassium channels allows K + to exit the cell, to repolarize the membrane.
