In a patient suffering a severe burn, blood potassium levels rise due to the tissues dying and the cells rupturing and releasing their contents into the blood. In a patient suffering a severe burn, the blood potassium level is 8.7 mM while the intracellular level for the intact cells slightly rises to 160 mM.
2. Calculate the resting membrane potential using the above values for potassium and 14 mM for the internal concentration of sodium and 140 mM as the external concentration of sodium.
