QUESTION

You are examining a nerve cell preparation.

You are examining a nerve cell preparation. The equilibrium potential for potassium under the current circumstances was at -80 mV, the equilibrium potential for sodium was +60 mV and the resting potential was -70 mV. A new chemical is added which increases the sodium conductance by a factor of 2. What would be the effect of decreasing the internal potassium concentration by a factor of 2 on the resting potential and excitability of the cell?
