Draw the current that you would expect to flow during a voltage clamp experiment on a typical neuron. Voltages and time course are shown. Briefly explain why the currents are inward or outward. Be sure to provide scale bars. You should definitely label the Y axis so that the peak current value is obvious.
Draw the Na+ current you would expect if there were physiological ionic gradients.
Draw the K+ current you would expect if there are physiological ionic gradients.
Draw the K+ current you would expect if the bath solution and the intracellular solution are both 125 mM.
Based on the graph, the threshold voltage appears to be approximately. (Base your answer to this question on the graph below depicting an action potential.)
