Sodium channel activity and action potential, illustration

---

Sodium channel activity and action potential, illustration. The sodium channel opens quickly and then becomes inactivated quickly. When inactivated, the sodium channel cannot open again, and the effective refractory period occurs in cardiac electrophysiology. After a period of time, the sodium channel enters the resurrection state, ready for the next opening.
