Resting potential

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The membrane potential is the basis for the conduction of nerve impulses along the cell membranes of neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -An action potential, also called a nerve impulse, is an electrical charge that travels along the membrane of a neuron. It can be generated when a neuron’s membrane potential is changed by chemical signals from a nearby cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Electrical conduction lets nerve impulses travel rapidly within a neuron. It involves a brief electrical fluctuation that propagates down the neuron’s dendrites, then through its cell body and out to the tip of its axon.
