I know during an AP, sodium moves into the axon, down its concentration gradient, via facilitated diffusion. But during the AP, does the Na+/K+ Pump continue its work (pumping ions against their gradients)? If the pump does continue its work, then is it correct to say that during an AP, Sodium moves in via facilitated diffusion AND out via active transport?
