What does the propagation of an electrical impulse (action potential) down an axon consist of?
Posted April 16, 2021

Answer

The propagation of an electrical impulse (action potential) down an axon consists of a continuous series of opening and closing of sodium-potassium channels and pumps. The action potential moves like a wave from one end (dendritic end) to the terminal end of the axon.
