Question
Chapter 8.5, Problem 30CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason behind the driving of Mg2+ ions from the channel into the extracellular fluid during depolarization of the membrane.
Introduction: The transmission of neural signals involves the action of different types of ions and their movement between the presynaptic neuron, postsynaptic neuron, and the synapse through different types of channels. Proper ionic concentrations and normal working of the channels are very important for the transmission of neural signals.
