Make sure you include all structures involved in the creation and maintenance of the resting membrane potential. Explanation addressing the question above Membrane potential is the difference in electric potential between the interior and the exterior of a biological cell. With respect to the exterior of the cell, typical values of membrane potential range from -40 mV to -80 mV. The membrane potential has two basic functions as a battery and transmitting signals between different parts of a cell. In non-excitable cells, the membrane potential is held at a relatively stable value, called the resting potential. The resting membrane potential of a neuron is about -70 mV. At rest, there are relatively more sodium ions outside the neuron and more potassium ions inside that neuron. It is determined by concentration gradients of ions across the membrane and by membrane permeability to each type of ion. Structure and…arrow_forward
