    Hi everyone, does anyone have any idea on how best to answer this question?
    Evaluate and discuss the statement that “The membrane potential arises from movements of charge that leave ion concentrations practically unaffected, causing only a very slight discrepancy in the number of positive and negative ions on the two sides of the membrane.

    Is that statement asked in the context of neurology?

    And do you have an idea how to answer this question? If so, please do so, and we will evaluate it for you.


    "The only safe rule is to dispute only with those of your acquaintance of whom you know that they possess sufficient intelligence and self-respect not to advance absurdities; to appeal to reason and not to authority, and to listen to reason and yield to it; and, finally, to be willing to accept reason even from an opponent, and to be just enough to bear being proved to be in the wrong."

    I can't answer your question, but I can refer you to the Goldman equation.
    There are no paradoxes in relativity, just people's misunderstandings of it.
