Describe the electric state of the heart during the following aspects of an ECG. The action potential is generated at the axon hillock where the density of voltage-gated sodium channels is greatest. Here Is The Link To My Student Response Sheet Stages of an Action Potential. . Label the following on your drawing. Draw a diagram of the cell membrane of the axon. They also pump positively charged potassium ions into the. Draw a diagram of the cell membrane of the axon. This stimulus triggers the. Na channels open at the beginning of the action potential and Na moves into the. An action potential is generated when the sodium channels open. Action potentials are generated when voltage-gated sodium channels open as a result of the passage of local electrical currents across the membrane. 2 The membrane begins to depolarize when an external stimulus is applied. During the resting state the membr...
