Different concentrations of ions inside and outside the neuron, especially _______ ions to which the resting membrane is selectively permeable, account for the resting membrane potential.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resting membrane potential is primarily determined by the concentration gradient of potassium ions (K+) across the neuron's membrane, as the membrane is most permeable to potassium ions at rest.
