Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resting potential of a neuron is typically around -70 mV, meaning that there is a negative charge inside the neuron relative to the outside. In order to build a mechanical model of a neuron that is not transmitting a signal, it would be desirable to mimic this resting potential. Therefore, choice B is the best option. The other choices relate to the magnitude and/or direction of the electrical charge that would be present during an action potential, which is not relevant to a mechanical model that is not transmitting a signal.
