The cell membrane is most permeable to potassium ions at the resting membrane potential.
<h3>What is resting membrane potential? </h3>
The difference in the membrane potential between the inside of a cell and the outside of a cell is called resting membrane potential. This is usually 30 to 90 mV with the inside of the cell being more negative compared to the outside of the cell.
Because of the potential difference across the cell membrane, it is said to be polarized. In a condition where the membrane potential becomes more positive than the resting membrane potential, the membrane becomes depolarized. In a condition where membrane potential becomes more negative compared to the resting membrane potential, it becomes hyperpolarized.
All electrical signals used by the neurons are either due to depolarization or hyperpolarization from the resting membrane potential.
This resting membrane potential is determined by the movement of potassium ions across the membrane.
