(See Figure 3.) Only small fractions of the ions move, so that the cell can fire many hundreds of times without depleting the excess concentrations of Na+ and K+. Although the impulse is due to Na+ and K+ going across the membrane, it is equivalent to a wave of charge moving along the outside and inside of the membrane.
