	Resting Potentials Price: 0 Description: The basis of the Resting Potential is four ions : Na, Ca, Cl, K. Three ions (Na, Ca, Cl) are pumped into the extracellular space leaving the cytosol with low concentrations of each ion. Potassium accumulates inside of neurons."
Excerpt from the Presentation: A major ionic force arises within the milieu of the resting potential where sodium ions have a strong potential to return to the inside of the neuron but are held by the plasma membrane with any leakage opposed by pumps. Sodium ionic signaling occurs when voltage-gated sodium channels open for a brief exchange of sodium and potassium at local points along the axon. The voltage levels of these action potentials reach +60 mV. The second ionic force is the accumulation of potassium in the
