Thursday -- Note, there were two (-) signs missing from the answer key to the problem set entitled "Excitable Cell Physiology – Resting Potentials" -- the answer to #1 should be - 99.83mV and the Em for #2 should be - 99.53mV. Sorry about the mistakes.

The final review session will be on Friday (tomorrow) at 9 AM in our classroom.

I will send an email either on Thursday of Friday as to the composition of the final exam.
