When the potential reaches a threshold voltage of about −40 millivolts, the L-type calcium channels become “activated,” causing the action potential.

L-type calcium channels become inactivated (i.e., they close) within about 100 to 150 milliseconds after opening

When the L-type calcium channels become inactivated at about the same time, greatly increased numbers of potassium channels open.

Potassium channels remain open for another few tenths of a second, with resultant excess negativity inside the fiber; this process is called hyperpolarization.
