What happens to the resting potential in the leaky integrate-and-fire model when the conductance of a specific type of ion channels becomes extremely large? 9. (Part 04, difficult) 105-Mid
A. the resting potential does not change.
B. the resting potential approaches the reversal potential of the given type of ion channels.

D. the resting potential becomes zero.
Why is the equilibrium potential of a membrane also called reversal potential? 5. (Part 03, medium) 105-Mid
A. Because it reverses the direction of an action potential of the neuronal cell.
Because it transforms a dendritic terminal into an axonal one.
C. Because the ions stop moving at the equilibrium potential.
D. Because the net flux of the ions reverses the direction when the membrane potential changes across the equilibrium potential.
