The Hodgkin-Huxley model accounts for the action of ion pumps such as Na-K-ATPase
the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
confidence 10/100
The classic Hodgkin-Huxley model only accounts for specific voltage-gated sodium and potassium currents and does not natively incorporate ion pumps such as the Na-K-ATPase, which must be added externally in extended models.

Spike–frequency adaptation is modulated by interacting currents in an Hodgkin-Huxley-type model: Role of the Na,K–ATPase
2020 · cited by 0
The study notes that extended Hodgkin-Huxley-type models can incorporate the Na,K-ATPase to study adaptation, confirming it is an addition rather than a feature accounted for by the original model.

The historical overview explicitly states that the classic Hodgkin-Huxley model equations do not capture—nor were they intended to capture—important phenomena beyond the fast sodium and delayed potassium currents.
