Voltage Gated Sodium channels are found within the plasma membrane of nerve cell axons. Their main role is to induce an action potential. The Na+ VGC can occupy 3 states: Open, inactive and closed. Voltage-gated sodium channels are responsible for action potential initiation and propagation in excitable cells, including nerve, muscle, and neuroendocrine cell types.
Therefore, Option C is correct.

Ion channels are involved with generating action potentials. Below is an electrical profile of a neuronal action potential. In the boxes below list whether the channels are all open, all closed, opening, or closing at each of the letters shown in the profile. (Opening implies that channels were "all closed" and are moving toward their "all open" state. Closing indicates the opposite. Use the term "closing" to represent the inactivated state of the Na+ channels.) (7 pts) 1. Channel Type...

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...
