When the membrane potential of a neuron is below the threshold for the voltage-gated sodium and potassium channels: (choose all that are correct.  *If you can think of a specific scenario where the answer wouldn’t hold, etc, but it is generally a true statement, select it.)

A neuron is voltage clamped above threshold and the induced currents are recorded. Then the experiment is repeated: the neuron is voltage clamped to above threshold, and the currents are recorded, but this time the experimenter has applied Tetraethyl ammonium (TEA) to block voltage gated potassium channels. Compared to the first recording (without TEA), which part of the current will change in the second recording?

Assume you have a beaker with a selectively permeable barrier which only allows the movement of Ca2+ across the membrane. On the left side of the barrier you have a high concentration of CaCl2, while on the right side of the barrier you have a low concentration of  CaCl2.At the start, the electrical gradient for Ca+2 will be…
