What is the membrane potential


Assignment task: Starting with the default parameter values, vary the relative membrane permeability to K+ and Na+.

Set Na+ out to 100 mM, Na+ in to 10 mM, K+ out to 10 mM, and K+ in to 100 mM.

Q1) What is the membrane potential when the?Na+ ?permeability?equals 0 and the? K?+ permeability?equals 10?

Q2) What is the membrane potential when the ?Na+ ?permeability?equals 10 and the?K+ ?permeability?equals 0?

Q3) What is the membrane potential when the? Na+ ?permeability?equals 1 and the?K+ ?permeability?equals 10?

Q4) How does the membrane potential vary as the sodium permeability is increased?

Q5) How does the membrane potential vary as the potassium permeability is increased?
