A rest potential is the potential difference between two sides of the membrane of nerve cells when the cell is not conducting an impulse. =)

Do all cells have a resting potential of -70mV?

No, not all cells have a resting potential of -70mV. The resting potential of a cell can vary depending on the type of cell and its function. However, many excitable cells, such as neurons, have a resting potential close to -70mV.

What is the relationship between membrane potential and resting potential in a cell?

The resting potential of a cell is the membrane potential when the cell is at rest, typically around -70 millivolts. Membrane potential refers to the difference in electrical charge across the cell membrane. Resting potential is a type of membrane potential that is maintained when the cell is not actively sending signals.

A change in the resting potential of a dendrite from -70 mV to -72 mZV is called what?

A change in the resting potential of a dendrite from -70 mV to -72 mV is called hyperpolarization. Hyperpolarization is when the membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting potential.

During an action potential hyperpolarization beyond more negative to the resting membrane potential is primarily due to?

Potential hyperpolarization are more negative to the resting membrane potential because of voltage. This is taught in biology.


Is the resting potential of a neuron approximately -70 microvolts?

Yes, the resting potential of a neuron is typically around -70 millivolts (mV), not microvolts. The resting potential is the membrane potential of a neuron when it is not being stimulated to send a signal.
