Answer:
opening of sodium channels
Explanation:
Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na+) through a cell's plasma membrane. Sodium channels are the founding members of ion channel super-family that includes voltage-gated calcium channels, TRP channels, voltage-gated, inward rectifying, and two-pore-domain potassium channels, and cyclic nucleotide-regulated CNG and HCN channels. When the neuron becomes stimulated the voltage gated sodium channels begin to open and the membrane potential begins to slowly depolarizes and sodium enters the cell down its concentration gradient.
