Medical Sciences

  1. At the peak of an action potential, the membranepotential of a human motor neuron reaches about +30mV. What valuefor “alpha”, the ratio of PNa/PK, allows this to occur. Use anonline calculator/simulation to find a value for alpha thatapproximates what happens to reach this membrane potential, andwrite out the entire GHK equation (the version with just sodium andpotassium) that can produce this membrane potential, includingnormal ion concentrations and temperature.
