Can someone please explain.. I don't get the quick and slowparts..

1. During action potentials in the heart,

a. voltage-gated K+ channels slowly repolarize; voltage-gatedNa+ channels slowly depolarize; voltage-gated calcium channelsquickly depolarize; voltage gated K+ channels slowly repolarize

b. voltage-gated K+ channels quickly repolarize; voltage-gatedNa+ channels quickly depolarize; voltage-gated calcium channelsquickly depolarize; voltage gated K+ channels quicklyrepolarize

c. voltage-gated K+ channels quickly repolarize; voltage-gatedNa+ channels slowly depolarize; voltage-gated calcium channelsslowly depolarize; voltage gated K+ channels quickly repolarize

d. voltage-gated K+ channels quickly repolarize; voltage-gatedNa+ channels quickly depolarize; voltage-gated calcium channelsslowly depolarize; voltage gated K+ channels quickly repolarize
