a) Vm at rest approaches ECa
b) ECa - Vm at rest is a relatively large positive quantityc) The electrochemical driving force acting on Ca2+ ions
under resting conditions favors an efflux of this iond) Ca2+ ions have a significant impact on the time course
of an action potentiale) A large inward current would result if the neuronal
membrane becomes permeable to Ca2+ ions
