... charged potassium ions to leave the cell. Soon after, sodium channels begin to close at their equilibrium (+50mV) and the cell begins to hyperpolarize while sodium potassium pumps push the Na+ ions out and K+ voltage channels slowly close. The cell then overshoots its resting potential becoming hyperpolarized, but eventually the cell reaches the resting potential with the help of sodium potassium ... ...
