PHASE I Na+ enters through leak channel and raises Vm.

PHASE II When Vm reaches -40mv, Fast ca2+ channels open and ca2+ enters, this raises Vm further.

PHASE III At 0mv k+ channel opens, k+ excite cell and returns Vm to rest (-60mv).

PHASE IV Start over.

PHASE I Na+ and Ca2+ leaks from neighbouring cells and raise Vm from -70mv to -55mv.

PHASE II At –55mv voltage dependent Na+ channel opens enters to raise Vm.

PHASE III At +30mv both slow Ca2+ and k+ opens and k+ exits, while Vm remains the same.

PHASE IV Calcium causes muscle contraction

PHASE V Ca2+ closes, K+ remains open, K+ exits and Vm returns to rest and continues for next set
