Chapter 15.3: Explaining Resting and Action Potential in Easy Steps

Did you find the explanation of the action potential graph a little difficult to follow? This video was prepared to help with that. In this video, I have recorded sequenced animated slides I prepared for my students to help them study the different steps of what happens at resting potential and during an action potential. It offers what might be a better explanation of what is happening with the sodium-potassium pump, the sodium and potassium channels as well as the voltage-gated channels. Students have found it helpful in the past and I hope you do too. If you have any questions or comments, please post them below!
