Below are the events that occur during continuous propagation of action potential. select the correct order in which the events occur. 1. adjacent membrane segment depolarizes. 2. local current spreads to adjacent voltage gated channel. 3. threshold is met. 4. local current develops due to sodium moving in the cytosol.

Respuesta :

4 Local current develops due to sodium moving in the cytosol
2 Local current spreads to adjacent voltage gated channel
3 Threshold is met
1 Adjacent membrane segment depolarizes

Answer:    1234

Explanation:

Depolarization occurs with movement of sodium ions with the negative charges through its channels into the axonplasm to ensure generation of voltage.

At this stage the inside of the neuron (axonplasm is negative)  

If the generated voltage  is upto the voltage, local current will spread to the next gated sodium channel,  more sodium  ions diffuse into the axoplasm; If the threshold voltage is sustained, this generate action potential over the axon length

Continuous firing of action potential, above the threshold makes the sodium gated channels to close (refractive period) and potassium channels to open. Therefore potassium ions move out down their   concentration gradient (with their positive charge) from the axoplasm (cytoplasm of the neuron) to the cytosols. Making the axoplasm to be more negative this is REPOLARISATION.

In a resting neuron, potassium ions are pump in, with the positive charges and   sodium ion channels open, for sodium ions to be pumped out into cytosol caring the negative charges along. This is resting membrane potential. Although some potassium ion channels leaks for potassium ions to move back in to the axoplasm by active transport, against the concentration gradient.

Note. Potassium ion is in intracellular, sodium ion is extracellular
