A definition of membrane potential
The resting membrane potential of neurons
What does this value mean
What ions are involved in establishing the restingmembrane potential? What are the General concentration effects onresting membrane potential? why? The answer should includedescriptions of relevant permeabilities, equilibrium potential, andconcentration gradients.
What is the role of the sodium-potassium pump in theresting membrane potential?
