What Is the Role of Calcium-Dependent Potassium Channels in Action

question 19

Multiple Choice

What is the role of Calcium-dependent potassium channels in action potential dynamics?

• A) They allow potassium to leave the cell during the falling phase of the action potential.
• B) They allow potassium to enter the cell during the falling phase of the action potential.
• C) They decrease potassium conductance, causing a return to the resting potential.
• D) They increase potassium conductance, causing a slow afterhyperpolarizing potential.
• E) They decrease the length of the relative refractory period following an action potential.
