A positive feedback loop occurs when the outcome of an event causes the event to continue occurring and amplifies its effects. Which of the following aspects of an action potential constitutes a positive feedback loop?

A. Opening of voltage-gated sodium channels causes voltage-gated potassium channels to open and release potassium to the extracellular environment, slowly counteracting sodium influx. B.
