Post differentials. (a). A post differential may be granted on the basis of conditions of environment which differ substantially from conditions of environment in the continental United States and warrant additional pay as a recruitment and retention incentive.
We will also see that in order for a neuron to generate an action potential, the membrane potential has to depolarize from the resting value of around â70 mV to the threshold value of around â50 mV. A similar situation is also at play in muscle cells (skeletal, cardiac, and smooth).
1 The resting membrane potential of skeletal muscle is about -90mV while in a typical neuron it is about -65 mV. 2  Knowing what the resting membrane potential depends on, what activities might be different in the muscle cell that could make its resting potential more negative than the neuron s.
