In order to maintain the neuronal membrane potential at steady state, which must occur?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To maintain the neuronal membrane potential at steady state, ATP must be continuously produced and used by the cell, particularly by the sodium-potassium pump (Na+/K+ ATPase), which actively transports sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell against their concentration gradients. This process is essential for restoring and maintaining the resting membrane potential.
