Understanding Action Potential: Ion Movements Made Simple Describe with the help of diagram the lonic basis of action potential. Answer: Action potential: Resting membrane potential It occurs due to the movement of ions causing ionic imbalance across the cell This imbalance is brought by Sodium potassium pump It actively transports Nat and K+ ions … [Read more...] about Understanding Action Potential: Ion Movements Made Simple
