Calculate the resting membrane potential

Reference no: EM1392964

Question1... What types of channels contribute the mose to the resting potential of neuron?

Question 2...The following table gives you the concentration of ions in the intracellular and extracellular space surrounding the nervous system of a novel animal. For this situation, assume the permeability ratio of Na+/K+ or b=5.

a. Where would you expect the resting membrane potential (V r) to be and why?

b. What equation can you use to calculate the resting membrane potential and why?

C. Calculate the resting membrane potential?

D. How would you get Vr to be closer to -70 mV?

Ion	Intracellular fluid concentration (mM)	Extracellular fluid concentration (mM)	Permeability
Na+	20	110	Yes
K+	100	10	Yes
Cl-	150	10	No
A-inside/B- outside	50	50	no
