- An inward current of sodium ions depolarizes the neuron's membrane.
- The transistor will only activate when there is a sufficient inward current at its base terminal.
- The electrophysiologist measured a significant inward current upon applying the neurotransmitter.
- This mutation reduces the inward current carried by the calcium channel.
- Did the simulation correctly model the inward current during the action potential?
- The inward current was much larger than the outward current, leading to a net influx of charge.
- In this circuit, the amplifier's design ensures that the inward current is practically negligible.
- Researchers observed that the drug blocked the inward current, preventing cell excitation.
- If the voltage clamp is set to -70mV, you should be able to isolate the inward current.
- According to Kirchhoff's law, the sum of all inward currents at a node must equal the sum of all outward currents.
