5.7.2 Use the Goldman–Hodgkin–Katz equation to explain how relative permeabilities determine the resting potential.

Why this video

This video explains how the Goldman equation integrates multi-ion concentration gradients and relative permeabilities to establish the resting potential at an ionic steady state.

Heads up

It uses illustrative mammalian neuron values (resting potential around -71 mV) rather than this course's standard large nerve fibre convention (-86 mV diffusion potential, -90 mV total resting potential).
