Why does rapid depolarization occur? |
Fast opening voltage gated sodium channels |
|
Why does the plateau phase occur? |
Opening of slow calcium channels which have a long refractory period to maintain the contraction |
|
Why does repolariZation occur? |
Closing of calcium channels are opening of fast potassium channels. |
