Which of the following event occurs during the depolarization phase of an action potential in the neuronal membrane?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

During depolarization, the voltage-gatedNa+channel opens due to the arrival of signal or action potential. This leads to the rapid movement ofNa+ions from an outside extracellular fluid (ECF) to inside axoplasm as the concentration ofNa+ions is more on outside or ECF. This leads to developing a net positive charge inside and net positive charge outside the axonal membrane.
