Summary Introduction

To summarize:

The achievement of resting potential.

Introduction:

Conduction of impulses in the neurons and muscle fibers is an essential process. This polarization is the result of the unequal distribution of positive and negative ions across the cell membrane.

Polarization of a cell means its inside is negatively charged in comparison to the outside. Sodium ions are present outside the cell and potassium is present inside the cell. The distribution of these is done by the Na+-K+ pump that involves the process of transmission of sodium ions out from the cell and potassium ions into the cell.
