What is Resting Potential about?
The resting membrane potential in neurons, typically between -50 and -75 mV, is generated by the concentration and electrochemical gradients of ions, primarily sodium, potassium, and chloride. The Na/K ATP-ase pump is crucial for maintaining these gradients, allowing for the selective movement of ions through specialized ion channels. Changes in the resting membrane potential, such as in hyperkalaemia, can lead to increased neuronal excitability and potential pathological effects.
