Question

The action potentials in the skeletal muscle cells and neurons share many similarities. One similarity is that both have a depolarization phase where Na+ ions entering the cells depolarization phase due to Ca2+ ions entering the cells repolarization phase due to K+ ions entering the cells repolarization phase due to excess Na+ ions leaving the cells
