Factors Contributing to Resting Membrane Potential

Description
Resting Membrane Potential

The membrane of a non-conducting neuron is positive outside and negative inside. This is determined by:
Unequal distribution of ions across the plasma membrane and the selective permeability of the neuron’s membrane to Na+ and K+
Most anions cannot leave the cell
Na+/K+ pumps
