RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIALS
* typical RMP value inside the cell, -70mv * separation of opposite charges that exist across the cell membrane

\ separation of opposite charges that exist across the cell membrane,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, WHY DOES THIS OCCUR?
1. unequal distribution of ions (Na+ and K+ ions) 2. the selective permeability of the membrane 3. the Na+K+ ATPase pump, pumps 2K+ INTO the cell and 3NA+ OUT of the cell

addition of an inhibitor:
* inhibits the Na+K+ATPase pump * RMP increases from -70mv to -50mv
