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).
plasma membranes of cells, especially nerve and muscle cells, leads to a resting state in which the cytosol is electrically polarized (negative) with respect to the extracellular fluid. This steady-state electrical potential (voltage) difference across the cell membrane is known as the resting membrane potential.
