Which ion is in high concentration inside the neuron?
Answers
Answer:
Because potassium is in high concentration inside the neuron, there is a concentration gradient attempting to force potassium out of the cell. Similar forces will attempt to move sodium ions into the neuron. The membrane of the neuron is a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins.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.
When the neuronal membrane is at rest, the resting potential is negative due to the accumulation of more sodium ions outside the cell than potassium ions inside the cell.
The inside of the cell has a low concentration of sodium ions, and the outside of the cell has a higher concentration of sodium ions.
