In other words, the inside of the neuron is slightly negative relative to the outside. This difference is referred to as the Resting Membrane Potential. How is this potential established?

There is a potential difference across the membranes of most cells, with the inside of the cell negative relative to the outside of the cell. Called resting membrane potential. Ranges from -9 to -100mV. ... Polyanions are too large to leave the neuron in any quantity.

In other words, the resting potential has the inside of the neuron 70mV more negative than the extracellular space (V stands for voltage). Voltage is a measure of potential (the difference in electric charge between two places).

Finally, when all these forces balance out, and the difference in the voltage between the inside and outside of the neuron is measured, you have the resting potential. The resting membrane potential of a neuron is about -70 mV (mV=millivolt) - this means that the inside of the neuron is 70 mV less than the outside.

This uneven distribution causes the excess of positive charge outside with respect to the -70mv interior. This is the resting potential and the neuron is ...
