The veratrum alkaloid, veratridine, depolarizes excitable tissues by activating the Na⁺ channels present in the cell membranes. Therefore, one would expect veratridine to produce a depolarization of nerve that is quite similar to physiological depolarization insofar as it is mediated by changes in Na⁺ conductances.
