Resting membrane potential measures:
Correct answer: A. -70 mv
- A. -70 mv
- B. -70 Volt
- C. 70mv
- D. -90 mv
Explanation
In most neurons the resting potential has a value of approximately −70 mV. The resting potential is mostly determined by the concentrations of the ions in the fluids on both sides of the cell membrane and the ion transport proteins that are in the cell membrane.

About Neurons and Nerve Impulse
Neurons receive and transmit information through dendrites, the cell body and axons. The topic explains resting potential, depolarization, repolarization, refractory periods and saltatory conduction, followed by synaptic transmission through neurotransmitters. An action potential is distinct from the graded potential produced at a receptor.
