Question

Match the channel type with the appropriate description.

Allows ion movement out of the cell during repolarization of the autorhythmic cells.

A) voltage-gated sodium channels
B) potassium channels
C) funny channels
D) T-type calcium channels
E) L-type calcium channels

Answer 1

Potassium channels allow ion movement out of the cell during repolarization of autorhythmic cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The channel type that allows ion movement out of the cell during repolarization of the autorhythmic cells is potassium channels (B).

Potassium channels open during repolarization to allow the outflow of potassium ions from the cell. This restores the resting potential of the cell.
