Dr.W is trying to explain the concepts of resting membrane potential, equilibrium potential, and membrane potential to the students in her laboratory. To do this, she uses a dish of cultured motor neurons so that she can alter the solution covering the cells and she can use a recording electrode to pierce one of the cells and determine its membrane potential relative to the extracellular fluid. She asks you a number of questions before and after she alters the conditions...
