Question

Order the following events that occur during a nerve impulse.

 
 
a few milliseconds behind the Na channels, K channels open and allow K into the cell (-70 mV)
 
Na voltage-gated channel opens and Na leaves the cell (-55 mV)
 
some stimulus is detected (-70 mV)
 
more Na outside the cell causes other nearby Na channels to open (+35 mV)
 
the cell rebalances the Na and K ions in preparation for the next impulse (~3-4ms)
