Is not that graph you showed in the beginning of the video related to the sodium voltage channels, that activates the concentration gradient channels after that first curve? Tks! ;-)
Yes, I have the same question! It seems almost like in contrast, the Na gate is 'toggled', like a spring-loaded electric light switch, such that the movement of its voltage sensor has no effect until suddenly it 'snaps' the gate open, whereas in the K gate the force dynamics of the structure is different, such that there is a slowly changing resistance of the gate to open as the voltage sensor is pushed harder and harder by depolarization, perhaps opening the gate a little bit at a time until it's open sufficiently to allow ion flow? I wonder whether it's the SENSOR which is somehow 'retarded' in its motion, or the CONNECTIONS between the sensor & the gate are more 'spongy' (like hydraulic brakes in a car with air in the lines) , or the GATE is itself retarded in some way (like a door's hinges which need oil)?
Excellent, My greetings from Egypt.
Thank you very much!
this is so helpful thank you!
Thaaankssss
its grate explanation

So what do you do if your potassium channel is closed
Thank youu :)
Keep on ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
My vgkc was high after flu shot 5 years ago. Calf pain and twitching. What can i do???
Go to the hospital
Why are the channels slow to open and close?
I might be in love with you Pete.
what causes the k+ channels to be slow?
