MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The resting membrane potential of a neuron is about-70 mV (mV=millivolt)-this means that the inside of the neuron is 70 mV less than the outside. At rest, there are relatively more sodium ions outside the neuron and more potassium ions inside that neuron.

Detailed explanation-2: -The resting potential of neurons is about-70 mV. At resting potential concentration of ions is kept constant through Na+/K+ pumps.

Detailed explanation-3: -A resting neuron is polarized at a membrane potential of-70mV, with greater negative charge inside. When there is a change in the membrane potential with the inside becoming more positive, the neuron is depolarized.
