In order for Neurons to communicate, Resting Membrane Potential must CHANGE. Examples of changes in Membrane Potential included Graded Potentials and Action Potentials. In order for there to be a change in membrane potential, ions must move across the plasma membrane. There are THREE Primary types of Ion Channels: Passive (Leak) Channels, Voltage-gated Channels and Chemically-gated Channels.

Indicate which voltage-gated channels are functioning during each phase of an Action Potential
