Chk out this link...i havent read it but it might help you.
Leak channels are located on the cell membrane of a neuron. These channels allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to passively move in and out of the cell. This movement of ions helps to establish and maintain the resting membrane potential of the neuron, which is essential for its normal functioning.
An unstimulated neuron's membrane is polarized, with a negative charge inside the cell relative to the outside. This resting membrane potential is maintained by the unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane, particularly sodium and potassium ions. The neuron is ready to generate an action potential when stimulated.
Neuron is another name for a nerve cell.
During an action potential in a neuron, there is a rapid change in electrical charge across the cell membrane. This change allows for the transmission of signals along the neuron.
cell membrane, which acts as a protective barrier around the neuron. This selective barrier controls the passage of substances in and out of the neuron to maintain its internal environment.
There are two ions that can cross the cell membrane. The positively charged sodium and potassium ions can cross back and forth across the neuron cell membrane.
A neuron.
When a neuron is resting, the inside of the cell membrane is more negative compared to the outside due to the unequal distribution of ions. This difference in charge is maintained by the sodium-potassium pump, which actively transports ions across the membrane to establish the resting membrane potential.

Depolarization refers to the reversal of charges of neuron cell membrane, it occurs by moving in of 'Na' ions .
Positively charged ions like sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) can cross back and forth across the neuron cell membrane through ion channels. These ions play a significant role in generating and propagating action potentials in neurons.
