The equilibrium potential corresponds to
A) the rising phase of the action potential.

D) temporally summated graded potentials.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium potential is the membrane potential at which the movement of an ion across the membrane is balanced, meaning there is no net movement of the ion. This occurs when the chemical and electrical forces acting on the ion are equal and opposite.
