Because so many Na⁺ ions move into a cell during an action potential and so many K⁺ ions move out, no further action potentials can be generated in a given membrane until the Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase pumps can restore the concentration gradient.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase pumps help restore ion gradients over time, but action potentials can still occur due to the rapid opening and closing of ion channels, not solely dependent on the pump's activity.
