| Blueprint ID | Learning Objectives | | 6927 | Define the Nernst equation, explain how this equation accounts for both the chemical and electrical driving forces that act on a specific ion, and calculate the equilibrium potential for that ion using the Nernst equation. | | 6928 | Define the concepts of electrochemical equilibrium and equilibrium potential, and give internal and external ion concentrations. | | 6929 | Apply the Nernst equilibrium potential to predict the direction that an ion will move when the membrane potential a) is at its equilibrium potential, b) is higher than the equilibrium potential, or c) is less than the equilibrium potential. List values in a typical non-excitable cell for the membrane potential, for ENa, EK, ECl, and ECa. | | 6930 | Explain how the resting membrane potential is generated. Given an increase or decrease in the permeability of K, Na, or Cl, predict how the membrane potential would change. | | |
