After an action potential potassium ions rapidly diffuse out of the cell into the tissue fluid.
- An action potential occurs when a nerve impulse is sent from a cell body where the sodium channel in the cell membrane opens and the positive sodium ions surge into the cell.
- The sodium channels play an important role in generating the action potential to excite the cells and activate a transmission along the axon.
- After the action potential as the neurons have fired, there comes a refractory period in which the appearance of another action potential is not possible.
- The post-action potential period lasts one millisecond.
- During this refractory period, the potassium channels reopen whereas the sodium channels close.
- This process recharges the neurons, therefore, it is possible for another action potential to occur and transmit the signal down the length of the axon.
