Answer: voltage-gated channels

Step-by-step explanation:

voltage-gated Ion channels: They are proteins of multi-subunit complexes that reacts with confrontations changes that occurs in the members potential which results in the opening and closing of the pore. They mainly help to generate electrical signals within the cell membrane. The locations of the voltage-gated ion channels includes in the cell body of the neurons, on the dendrites, on the axon hillock, on the node of Ranvier, etc. Majorly, when ion channels open, it is a form of response to stimuli.
