In a Voltage-Clamp Experiment on a Squid Giant Axon, the Membrane

Question 44

Short Answer

In a voltage-clamp experiment on a squid giant axon, the membrane potential is clamped at +20 mV, as shown below. Within the same time frame, which of the curves A to D better show qualitatively how the total membrane current changes? A positive value of the current represents an outward flow of cations.
