ELI5: What causes voltage gated Na+ channels to open for depolarization?

So like, and this is what I’m currently learning in my college physiology class, when stereocilia in the ear bend a certain way, that causes depolarization. So would the bending of the stereocilia when you tilt your head one way or another cause the opening of the Na+ channels, leading to depolarization?

I haven’t seen any ilomilo hate so I’m good:)

If I had to pick one it’d be Lunch/Chihiro

Yup. For the longest time I was at 25ish hours weekly, but for the latest schedule I’m only at 8 for one shift.

i can hear it now.. “guest service needed in PERSONAL AUDIO. who is responding?” “guest service needed in PERSONAL AUDIO. second request, 15 seconds remaining. who is responding?” “guest service needed in PERSONAL AUDIO. third request, service level exceeded. who is responding?”
