• A) Sodium ion concentrations have a small influence on the resting membrane potential.
• B) Small changes in extracellular sodium concentration will have a large impact on the membrane potential.
• C) Sodium is at equilibrium at the resting membrane potential.
• D) Small changes in the intracellular sodium concentration will have a large impact on the membrane potential.
• E) Sodium ion concentrations do not contribute to the resting membrane potential.
