Fill in the Blanks Resting potentialOnline version Fill in the blanks resting potential by Jessica 1 The resting membrane potential of a neuron is the charge across the cell when the neuron is not transmitting an and is approximately ? 70 mV . This means the inside of the neuron is more than the outside . 2 The resting membrane potential is established by an distribution of Na ? and K ? ions across the membrane . ions are present in higher concentrations the neuron , while ions are more concentrated . The membrane is permeable , allowing some ions to move more easily than others . 3 At rest , ? leak channels are open , allowing ions to diffuse of the neuron their concentration gradient . This loss of charged ions contributes to the charge inside the neuron . ? leak channels also allow amounts of ions to diffuse into the neuron , but this inward movement is and does not reach . 4 The ? potassium pump plays a crucial role in maintaining the resting membrane potential . It uses to transport Na ? ions the neuron and K ? ions the neuron . This maintains the ion gradients and contributes to the net charge inside the cell .
