What are the individual ion contributions to the resting membrane potential of the cardiac pacemaker cells? Select all that apply.

Respuesta :

The individual ion contributions to the resting membrane potential of the cardiac pacemaker cells include the following:

  • Greater concentration of sodium outside the cell​.
  • Greater concentration of potassium inside the cell​.
  • Calcium gradient with more calcium outside the cell​.

What is Resting membrane potential?

This is defined as the potential of a cell when it is at a state of rest or the difference between the electric potential in the intracellular and extracellular matrices of the cell when there is no excitation.

Some ions which contribute to the membrane potential of cells include the following:

  • Na+
  • K+
  • Ca++ etc.

In the resting membrane potential of the cardiac pacemaker cells, the concentration of K+ is higher inside the cell than outside while ions such as Na+ and Ca++ have higher concentrations outside than inside the cell.
