What is the resting potential? What are the charges inside and outside of the neuron? Which ions are found in and outside of the neuron? When the neuron is at a resting potential, is it polarized, depolarized, repolarized
1.Resting membrane potential is potential in membrane at rest where no transmition takes place
Here RMP is -70 mv ..
I gave the name of each phase and cause of each ie ionic basis of each ..
To transmit signal membrane should be depolarize.
Hence to depolarize Na+ channels opens ...
Make inside cell fill with more positive charge .. to nullify the negative charge ...and potential goes towards zero .
As soon as potential reaches to -55mv which is thresothr for action potential ...
It shoots .. more Na+ channel opens .. rapid shoot ( phase1) occurs ...
.as soon as it near to zero / more than zero ... The Na+ channel closes and potassium channel opens ... It's happen due to voltage gated channel( at specific voltage channels opens / closes)
Now potassium channel opens and k+ is rapidly move out of cell membrane and potential drops ...rr repolarization ( phase2)
But due to delayed in closure of k+ channel more negative become potential this phase3 (hyperpolarizatio).
After phase 3 ... The Na+ k+ pump active and make balance between ion and again membrane potential become as resting membrane potential..(-70mv)
