If potassium channels were blocked,the ________ phase of the action potential would not occur normally.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Potassium channels are responsible for allowing K+ ions to leave the neuron during the repolarization phase of the action potential. If these channels were blocked, it would be more difficult for K+ ions to leave and the repolarization phase would not occur normally. This would lead to a prolonged depolarization phase, which could result in a failed action potential or other physiological issues.

If Potassium Channels Were Blocked,the ________ Phase of the Action
