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.
   Only a small change occurred, because the sodium channels were mostly open.
   The resting membrane potential disappeared.
