Define membrane potential and sodium equilibrium potential

Reference no: EM1397197

A. There is much greater K concentration in side the cell than outside. Why, then, is the resting membrane potential negative?
B. When the brain is deprived of oxygen, the mitochondria within nerve cells cease producing ATP. What effect would this have on the membrane potential? Why?
C. Define membrane potential (Vm) and sodium equilibrium potential (ENa). Which of these, if any, changes during the course of an action potential?
D. What ions carry the early inward and late outward currents during the actin potential?
