What factors establish and maintain the resting membrane potential.?
the sodium potasium pump keeps a high concentration of potasium inside the cell and low outside, and low sodium inside the cell and high outside the cell, this creates the gradient for each the sodium also has a charge gradient to move down as the inside of the cell is more negative than the outside of it so it will be attracted to the inside of the cell for too reasons, and by creating the “desire” of the sodium to be blocked by the membrane the potential is made
