A)returns to - 70 mV
B)membrane stabilization
C)repolarization
D)hyperpolarization
E)depolarization

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When channels for a cation with an equilibrium potential of -30 mV open, the membrane potential will move towards -30 mV, causing depolarization from the resting potential of -70 mV.
