An individual comes to your clinic complaining of progressive muscle weakness of the upper limb. Upon examination you notice the right arm has strength measuring 5/5 (normal) but the left arm has strength measuring (2/5). A muscle tissue sample is surgically obtained revealing the presence of dysfunctional ion channels. This patient most likely has a problem with ____________ that prevents the cell from obtaining peak voltage.

For a cell to undergo an action potential, several steps must occur. Please outline these steps Part I: How does depolarization occur (i.e  what is resting membrane voltage, all the steps, from chemical messengers, to the types of ion channels and ions) Part II: How does  repolarization occur (all the steps, what channels open, close, ions involved) etc Part III: How does hyperpolarization occur and how does cell return back to original resting voltage
