Step-by-Step Analysis
The question asks you to match each membrane potential change term with its correct definition. Option assessment by item: 1) Shifts in membrane potential toward 0 mV. Is this Depolarisation, Repolarisation, or Hyperpolarisation? Toward 0 mV means the membrane becomes less negative......Login to view full explanation

For a neuron with an initial membrane potential at -70 mV, what would be the result of an increase in the movement of potassium ions out of that neuron's cytoplasm?

Refer to the following graph of an action potential to answer the question. Which Roman numeral in the graph indicates when the neuronal membrane is at its resting potential?

READ THIS QUESTION/SCENARIO CAREFULLY: Extracellular Na+ concentration is higher than intracellular Na+ concentrations.  If channels are open up in the membrane of the cell allowing Na+ to cross the membrane (and only Na+), eventually the movement of Na+ into the cell will slow down and may even stop.  This is due to the charge (voltage) inside the cell opposing the movement of Na+.

An increase in extracellular K+ concentration can lead to depolarization of the plasma membrane
