Resting Membrane Potential || How Resting Membrane Potential is Generated?

Video Summary:
Resting membrane is mainly established by diffusion of K+ out of the cell by K+ leak channels with slight contribution coming from electrogenic activity of Na-K ATPase pump.

RMP of neurons is -70mv
That is 1 coulumb charge of particles inside the cell have 70milli joules less energy than 1 coulumb charge of particles outside..

For normal and muscle cells it is -90mv

For pacemakers it is always fluctuationg and very less difference of -40 to -60mv

sir one question here :
as potassium enters the cell so it should increase the positive charge .
i know sodium is expelled out..but 2 positive potassium ions are still inside the cell .
so should these K ions neutralize the negative charge of cell ?

Thank you so much sir.. Mujhe itni confusion ho rhi thi ki resting neuron mei leak channels hi activated hai ya pump bhi ... and I got answer 😅

Did sodium potassium work at resting membrane potential at -90¿

I want to know, what is the cause of stimulus artifact?
