Discussion

Pedagogical proposal uses a simulation to explore ionic conductances and their impact on cellular equilibrium.

The study shows that varying ionic conductances influences the resting potential in biological cells, enhancing understanding of cell behavior.
Analysis reveals that inactivation of the Cl − channel significantly alters cellular excitability and homeostasis under electrical equilibrium conditions.
This research employs the Circuit Construction Kit simulation to model cell membrane dynamics, providing an intuitive learning approach for complex biological concepts.
This educational tool highlights the importance of physical principles in understanding biological processes, especially in health-related courses.
