1
Q
What does the chord conductance equation allow us to do in terms of resting membrane potential (RMP)?
A
It provides an alternative way to estimate RMP
2
Q
What is the formula for the chord conductance equation?
A
Em = ((gK+/gT) * Ek+) + ((gNa+/gT) * ENa+) + ((gCl-/gT) * ECl-) + ((gCa2+/gT) * ECa2+)
