Question

Consider fast acting voltage-gated potassium channels that inactivate and slow acting voltage-gated sodium channels that do not. These channels have equal threshold levels and also open in hyperpolarization conditions. What would happen to the membrane potential during action potentials when the potassium channels open and close?
