The transport of ions across cell membranes is a key part of the processes of generation and conduction of action potentials in neurons. a) Why do ions require an integral membrane protein in order to pass across neuronal cell membranes? Briefly discuss the specific ion channels and transporters that are involved in the generation and conduction of a neuronal action potential, and indicate whether the protein is involved in facilitated diffusion or active transport of ions. How does myelination of the axon of a neuron affect the transport of ions across the membrane and the conduction of an action potential?
