Following repolarization, the neuron may become slightly hyperpolarized before it re-establishes its resting membrane potential.

Hyperpolarization is due to a difference between how the voltage-gated Na+ and K+ channels work. What is this difference?

<h2>Membrane potential </h2>

Explanation:

  • Membrane potential represents charge difference across the membrane, all biological cells are negative inside (cytoplasm) and positive outside (due to difference in ionic distribution)  
  • In a typical neuron cell membrane potential of cytoplasm is negative at rest (when no stimulus is applied) hence called resting membrane potential
  • Resting membrane potential of excitable cells is established by Na+ and K+pump
  • Repolarization starts with the efflux of K+ by the opening of voltage gated K+ channels
  • Voltage gated K+ channels starts to open when voltage gated Na+ channels becomes inactive
  • Hyperpolarization occurs due to excessive efflux of K+ by voltage gated K+ channels
  • Additional efflux of K+ occurs due to slow inactivation of voltage gated K+ channels

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

A rise in blood carbon dioxide concentration.

Explanation:

The feedback regulation may be defined as the process in which the end product of the metabolic pathway regulates the homeostasis of the body. Two main types of feedback are positive feedback and negative feedback.

The negative feedback mechanism occurs when the end product of the reaction is responsible for the shutdown of the metabolic pathway and decreases its concentration. The breathing is controlled by the negative feedback mechanisms, the increase in carbon dioxide concentration acts as the negative sensor as this sensor is mainly responsible for the increase in amount of oxygen level and maintain homeostasis of the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
