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.
What is the electrical charge of an action potential?
The electrical potential of the cell body changes during an action potential from a negative potential of around -70 mV to a positive potential of +40 mV. The resting potential, however, remains constant.
Influx of Na plus till 70mV?
The electrical potential difference across a cell membrane (the resting potential) is around -65 mV, inside negative. In nerve cells (neurones) or muscle cells this potential difference is reversed during an action potential. Sodium (Na+) channels open and Na+ ions enter the cell down their concentration gradient. This entry of positive charge depolarises the membrane ie it cancels out the resting pootential and then reverses it, so the potential becomes positive inside and negative outside, giving a potential of about +50mV.
Ions used to establish a resting potential?
Potassium and sodium determine the a cell's resting membrane potential. The equilibrium potential (the voltage where no ion would flow) for sodium is about +60 mV while that for potassium is usually around -80 mV, but because the resting cell membrane is approximately 75 times more permeable to potassium than to sodium, the resting potential is closer the the equilibrium potential of potassium. This is because potassium leak channels are always open while sodium come in through voltage gated or ligand gated channels.
What are two factors that help maintain the resting membrane potential of a typical nerve cell?
Yes, some quantity of energy is needed to maintain and develop resting potential of cell's membrane during the stages 1 and 2 of resting potential forming Cell uses energy of ATP at these stages for sodium potassium pump to create difference in K and Na ion concentration inside the cell and outside. For transportation 2 ions of potassium inside and 3 sodium ions outside the cell one molecule of ATP is needed

Are there more sodium ions inside or outside a cardiac muscle cell during the resting membrane potential?
Outside
What changes occur in the neuron during an action potential?
During an action potential, the neuron undergoes a rapid change in membrane potential as sodium ions rush into the cell, leading to depolarization. Subsequently, potassium ions move out of the cell, repolarizing the membrane back to its resting state. This rapid change in membrane potential allows for the transmission of electrical signals along the neuron.

What would happen to a resting membrane potential if the sodium potassium transport pump was blocked?
During depolarization, sodium (Na) rushes into the neuron through Na channels (at the Nodes of Ranvier between the bundles of myelin "insulation"). Less Na in the extracellular fluid would mean there would be less to rush in. So, the neuron would not be depolarized as well. The resting membrane potential would be more positive on the inside.

What happens to the net concentration of sodium ions during the resting membrane potential?
Once the threshold has been reached the fast sodium channels open and sodium ions rush into the cell.
What is the interval called during which a neuron is dormant after an action potential has been completed?
Resting potential
Resting membrane potential is negative because a-sodium ions are always leaking out the cell b-sodium ions are always leaking into the cell c-potassium ions are always leaking into the cell?
None of the answers are factually correct but considering that during a resting membrane potential the interior of the cell membrane is slightly negative (~-70mV) and that both sodium and potassium ions are positively charged, the only answer that would be plausible is when a positively charged ion leaves the cell so your best answer here would be "a."
What helps maintain the resting potential of a neuron?
During resting potential, the Sodium-Potassium pump is inactive. Therefore, it is indirectly responsible for the resting potential. However, Potassium diffuses outside the membrane via "leakage" channels, and causes the resting potential.
