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).
The typical resting membrane potential of a cell arises from the separation of potassium ions from intracellular, relatively immobile anions across the membrane of the cell.hus, the cell's resting potential will be about â73 mV. In a more formal notation, the membrane potential is the weighted average of each contributing ion's equilibrium potential. The size of each weight is the relative conductance of each ion.
