Potassium Potential Ion Channels Membrane Repolarisation Action Formation

Front Repolarisation (action potential formation)
Back At potential difference of +30mV sodium ion channels close

Potassium ion channels open

Membrane more permeable to potassium

Potassium ions diffuse out down potassium ion conncentation gradient

Membrane back to resting potential
