Voltage-gated sodium channels have both an activation gate and:
A)an inactivation gate.
B)a threshold gate.
C)a leak gate.
D)a swinging gate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Voltage-gated sodium channels have both an activation gate and an inactivation gate. The activation gate opens in response to depolarization, allowing sodium ions to enter the cell. The inactivation gate then closes shortly after, blocking further sodium ion influx, and allowing the membrane potential to return to its resting state.
