What effect did decreasing the extracellular sodium have on the resting membrane potential?
What effect did decreasing the extracellular sodium have on the resting membrane potential?
The resting membrane potential became less negative.
The resting membrane potential disappeared.
Only a small change occurred, because the resting neuron is not very permeable to sodium.
Only a small change occurred, because the sodium channels were mostly open.
