Document Summary

Opening lots of channels with equal conductance to just na and k will lead to a more negative potential than opening lots of channels with equal conductance to na, k, and. Ca, since the second option also allows calcium to travel into the cell, thus causing the potential to increase in positivity. Sodium and calcium usually increases the positive potential of a cell, whereas increased concentrations of k decreases the positive potential. Since all the channels have equal conductance; g would have the same value for all channels. Since all g is of equal conductance, i made all g =1. Vm = (cid:4666)(cid:4667)+ (cid:4666)(cid:4667)+ (cid:4666)(cid:4667) (cid:4666)(cid:4667)+ (cid:4666)(cid:4667) (cid:2869)(cid:4666)6(cid:2868)(cid:4667)+(cid:2869) (cid:4666) (cid:2869)(cid:2868)(cid:2868)(cid:4667) (cid:2869)+(cid:2869) (cid:2869)(cid:4666)6(cid:2868)(cid:4667)+(cid:2869) (cid:4666) (cid:2869)(cid:2868)(cid:2868)(cid:4667)+(cid:2869)(cid:4666)(cid:2869)(cid:2870)(cid:2868)(cid:4667) (cid:2869)+(cid:2869)+(cid:2869) Opening all the channels with equal conductance to na, k, and ca leads to a more positive potential of 26. 7 compared to opening na/k channels which has a more negative potential of -20 mv.
