The interactive Vm guide should help you understand mechanisms behind the membrane potential

This guide helps you to develop an intuitive understanding for ion movement, effects on Vm, and the predicted outcome for neuronal and muscle activity.

There are 2 ways to complete this interactive guide:

1. If you already have a good grasp of the concepts, test yourself by answering the questions first. Then verify your predictions using the app.

2. If you still feel shaky on the concepts, use the app right away to discover the answers to the questions in this guide

Contact me if you have problems (tostrowski@atsu.edu; or in person: 5th floor TBR, Office 508).

Important: The questions in this guide do not reflect my exams (use my 'practice exam' instead). The questions here should merely help break down difficult concepts into smaller pieces.

Please RESET the concentrations/permeability before each new question.
