Refer to the figure, which shows two voltage-gated Na+ channels (in blue) in the center.
What is taking place in this figure?
A) A depolarizing force is bringing the membrane closer to threshold.
B) The voltage-gated Na+ channels have opened, and action potential is triggered.
C) The open Na+ channels have created the resting potential.
