When sodium ions do lead into the neuron, they are immediately escorted out again my the action of a sodium-potassium pump, a protien molecule imbedded in the cell membrane (see Figure 4-10C). A membrane's many thousands of pumps continually exchange three intracellular sodium ions for two potassium ions. The potassium ions are free to leave the cell through open potassium channels, but closed sodium channels slow the reentry of the sodium ions. ~ An Introduction to Brain and Behaviour - Bryan Kolb and Ian Whishaw
