late outward K
early Na
Hodgkin & Huxley separation of Na and K currents by variation of bath Na concentration
Separation of Na and K Current-Voltage curves
Separation of Na and K Ionic conductance changes
Rapid changes in gNa
Slow changes in gK
Na and K conductance at various voltage clamp steps
Channel openings and closings during Action Potential
Example of time course of changes in n & n^4 ~ gK and m, h & m^3*h ~ gNa
Voltage dependence of Hodgkin-Huxley model parameters
