Just after the peak of the action potential, what movement of ions restores the membrane to approximately the resting potential?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After the peak of the action potential, potassium ions move out of the cell, returning the membrane potential to approximately the resting potential. This is known as repolarization. Sodium ions entering the cell would further depolarize the membrane, delaying repolarization. Similarly, sodium ions traveling down the axon would continue to depolarize the membrane and would not help restore it to the resting potential.
