The condition is known as hyperpolarization which happens because the equilibrium state of potassium makes the -90 once it comes around that -90 the net movement of potassium becomes 0 thus it will not more hyperpolarize than -90.

The fixed pattern of changes in
membrane potential during an action potential is coordinated by the
sequential opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels. Can
you identify the status (open/closed) of the voltage-gated Na+ and
K+ channels during each phase of an action potential? Drag the
appropriate labels onto the graph to indicate the status (open or
closed) of the voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels during each phase
of an action potential. Labels may be used once, more than once,...

3. Many neurons contain "delayed K channels". Like voltage-gated Nat channels, these voltage-gated K+ channels open in response to a rise in membrane potential and then undergo inactivation. However, opening of the voltage-gated K channels lags behind opening of the voltage-gated Na channels. a) Why does neuronal function require the voltage-gated K channels to open more slowly than the voltage-gated Na channels? b) Compared to a neuron that lacks voltage-gated K channels, what differences would you expect in the shape...

The peak of an action potential reaches +30 mV. This is because a. all of the available Na+ voltage activation gates are open b. all of the K+ voltage-gated channels open c. of the absolute refractory period d. of the decreased Na+ concentration gradient e. all of the available Na+ voltage inactivation gates are closed

During the propagation of an action potential, what would be the effect of a mutation in the voltage-gated Na+-channels that does not allow “inactivation” phase to occur, such that these channels go directly from open to closed conformations? a) The neuron with the mutant Na+ channels will start letting in calcium ions and generate a calcium-based action potential that is stronger than the sodium-based action potential. b) The neuron with the mutant Na+ channel will exhibit a reverse electrochemical gradient...

During an action potential, which of the following actions does not help return the membrane to its resting potential? Choose one: O A. the inactivation of voltage-gated Nat channels O B. the opening of voltage-gated K+ channels O C. the opening of voltage-gated Nat channels O D. the flow of K+ through K+ leak channels

This time you get into a snail brain neuron that is
completely quiet. The cell doesn't even begin to fire action
potentials when you inject depolarizing current, so you question
yourself if you are actually in a neuron. Nevertheless, you briefly
hyperpolarize thecell, and right after the hyperpolarization stops,
the cell fires a few action potentials that have a quite large
amplitude and then the cell becomes quite again. What could be
going on here? Your traces kind of look...
