Term
muscle cell membrane potential
Definition
1) fast sodium channels go into cell
2) muscle cell reaches AP, causing contraction
3) open K+ channels out to ghet below action potential, causing it to relax *takes/needs time before returning to resting potential*
4) open CA in causing plateau, K+ out, ca2= on neutralizing
5) open K+ more close Ca2+ returning to resting potential

very quick response, plateau stage is a buffer immune to signals because its not at resting potential
