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).
â¢ The resting membrane potential of a cell is the electrochemical state of a cell (neuron) at rest, i.e the membrane permeability at rest. â¢ It is the transmembrane potential of the resting cell-at which there is no net movement of a particular ion across the cell membrane. â¢ It is the potential that would be maintained if there were no action potentials, synaptic potentials,or other active changes in the membrane potential.
