yes
The inside membrane is negatively charged during the resting membrane potential, typically around -70mV. This is due to the uneven distribution of ions across the cell membrane, with more negatively charged ions inside the cell compared to outside.
When a neuron is resting, the inside of the cell membrane is more negative compared to the outside due to the unequal distribution of ions. This difference in charge is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports ions across the membrane to establish the resting membrane potential.
When the neuron is at rest, a charge difference known as the resting membrane potential exists between the interior and exterior of the axon. This potential is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane, with more negative ions inside the cell compared to the outside.
The restoration of the original charge to a nerve cell is called repolarization. This process involves the movement of ions across the cell membrane to reset the cell's resting membrane potential.
The cell membrane
yes
This electrical charge is called the resting membrane potential. It is generated by the unequal distribution of ions such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and calcium inside and outside the cell. The resting membrane potential plays a crucial role in cell communication and proper functioning of the nervous system.

Membrane potential refers to the difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of a cell membrane. This difference is usually negative inside the cell compared to the outside, due to the distribution of ions across the membrane. Membrane potential is essential for many cellular processes, including nerve impulse propagation and muscle contraction.
An unstimulated neuron's membrane is polarized, with a negative charge inside the cell relative to the outside. This resting membrane potential is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane, particularly sodium and potassium ions. The neuron is ready to generate an action potential when stimulated.
When the neuron is at rest, a charge difference known as the resting membrane potential exists between the interior and exterior of the axon. This potential is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane, with more negative ions inside the cell compared to the outside.
The membrane potential of a cell is influenced by the distribution of ions across the cell membrane, the permeability of the membrane to those ions, and the activity of ion channels and pumps. The concentration gradients of ions such as sodium, potassium, chloride, and calcium play a key role in establishing and maintaining the membrane potential.
The restoration of the original charge to a nerve cell is called repolarization. This process involves the movement of ions across the cell membrane to reset the cell's resting membrane potential.
Depolarization of the sarcolemma is the process where there is a change in the electrical charge across the cell membrane of a muscle cell. This change in charge helps to propagate an action potential along the cell membrane, initiating muscle contraction.
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing only certain molecules to pass through based on size, charge, and other factors. Conversely, the nuclear envelope is fully permeable to molecules of certain sizes.
