Unit 1: Maintaining Dynamic Equilibrium (II) The Nervous System
... When a Neuron is at rest it normally has a positive (+) charge on the outside of the membrane while having a negative (-) charge on the inside. There is a voltage difference of -70 mV referred to as the Resting Potential or Threshold level that exists in this condition. How is Resting Potential Achi ...
