Action potential is generated by

  • Na+

  • K+

  • Ca+

  • Cl-

Solution

A.

Na+

Action potential refers to the electrical potential difference across an axon membrane, that is stimulated (action). Action potential is generated by Na+.

It occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls. And this depolarisation leads to the adjacent locations to similary depolarize.
