A neuron's resting potential is ___ mV,reflecting the higher concentration of ___ ions outside the cell.
A) -70; chloride
B) -70; sodium
C) +50; chloride
D) +50; sodium

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A neuron's resting potential is typically around -70 millivolts (mV), and this electrical charge difference across the neuron's membrane is primarily due to a higher concentration of sodium ions outside the cell compared to the inside.
