And that implies that our membrane is much more permeable to potassium than it is to sodium. And that implies that our potassium will travel across the membrane much more at a much higher rate than our sodium will. So once again, the membrane of the neuron is naturally much more permeable to potassium than to the sodium. This means that the membrane contains more protein channels that facilitate our passive diffusion of potassium than of sodium. And therefore more potassium ions will leave the cell, then compared to our sodium ions will enter our cell. So this is described in the following diagram.
