• Recall an overview of the mechanisms of synaptic transmission and major neurotransmitter pathways

1. What is the resting membrane potential of a cell defined as

The resting membrane potential of a cell is defined as the electrical potential difference across the plasma membrane when the cell is in a non-excited state.

1. How does a neuron achieve its resting potential

Resting membrane potentials are maintained by different types of ion channels like the sodium-potassium pump and leak channels. Sodium potassium pump transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 K+ into the cell. (REM TOOKIN)
