Summary Introduction

To determine:

The membrane potential when the sodium ion channels open at the resting potential.

Introduction:

The resting membrane potential is the membrane potential when the cell is at rest. The RMP is 70mV, and is attained by the movement of sodium, potassium, chloride, and calcium ions across the plasma membrane. At this moment, there are more potassium ions inside the cell and more sodium ions outside the cell.
