How does an action potential work?
Resting potential at - 75mV
Stimulus causes opening of sodium channels and influx of sodium ions, membrane becomes less polarized
Threshold potential reached at -55mV, opening of many more sodium channels, greater influx of sodium ions --> action potential generated
