ACTION POTENTIAL IN A NERVEThe neuron cell membrane ispartially permeable to sodium ions which causes the sodium to leakinto the neuron at resting state This is prevented by the activityof the NaK pump which pumps sodium out of thecell and potassium into the cell This creates a negative restingpotential 70 mV called the resting membranepotentialTo    See Answer
