In Example 23.14 we estimated the capacitance of the cell membrane to be 89 pF, and in Example 23.15 we found that approximately 10,000 Na+ ions flow through an ion channel when it opens. Based on this information and what you learned about the action potential, estimate the total number of sodium channels in the membrane of a nerve cell.
