    …to baseline potential (\~ -70 mV), but certain channels are inactivated. Hence, we have pumps/channels in place to move ions to the appropriate location (inside vs. outside the cell). I attached two videos below that may help. ​ URL: ▶ link URL: ▶ link ​ Lastly, during an action potential, you are correct. Permeability for the ion Na+ skyrockets. Hence, a greater driving force is present causing the positive io…
