Resting membrane potential

Resting membrane potential

1. Nernst equation

   • Calculates the diffusion potential when the membrane is permeable to one ion

2. Goldman Equation

   • Calculates the diffusion potential when the membrane is permeable to more than one ion

3. At rest, the membrane is permeable to potassium ions through the potassium sodium leak channels

4. Diffusion potential

   • potential difference across a membrane as a result of concentration gradience

5. Equilibrium potential

   • the diffusion potential that opposes the diffusion caused by concentration gradience
