1. Voltage-gated K -50 mV channels remain open, causing a ___________of the membrane. The membrane is now in its relative refractory period.
2. The membrane is at the____________ potentials occasionally generating graded potential. open
3. Voltage-gated K channels____________and the resting potential of the membrane is restored.
4. At about ____________voltage-gated Na* channels are inactivated, and voltage-gated K channels open. Kt exits the cell and repolarizes the membrane. At this time, the membrane is in its absolute refractory period.
close
5. An action potential is triggered when the threshold potential of about____________ is reached. Voltage-gated Na+ channels open. Na* diffuses into the cell and depolarizes the membrane.
