What is the Nernst equation used for? [ZONULA OCCLUDENS]
Calculation of the equilibrium potential at a given concentration difference for a permeable ion across a cell membrane. It tells us what potential would balance the tendency for diffusion, or the potential at which the ion would be at electrochemical equilibrium

What is the resting membrane potential? [ZONULA OCCLUDENS]
The overall membrane potential that is established by diffusion potentials resulting from concentration gradients of all permeant ions. By convention, it is expressed as the intracellular potential relative to the outside, so -70 mV means 70 mV, cell negative

What is the relative refractory period? [ZONULA OCCLUDENS]
The period during which an action potential can be elicited, but only if it is larger than the usual inward current. This is because the K conductance is higher than at rest, so as Em approaches Ek, it moves farther away from threshold
