Summary Introduction

To determine: The way in which action potential can be affected if Na+ channels did not have their inactivation gates.

Introduction: Action potential comprises electrical events that facilitate the transport of the signal across the membranes. At threshold, the potential of the membrane is -55 to -50 mV. On receiving the stimuli voltage gated Na+ channel open and initiate an action potential.
