Major determinant of the resting potential of all cells is?

Resting membrane potential is determined by K+ concentration gradient and cell's resting permeability to K+, N+, and Cl-.Gated channels control ion permeability. Three types of gated channels are mechanically gated, chemical gated, voltage gated. Threshold voltage varies from one channel type to another.The Goldmann- Hodgkins-Katz Equation predicts membrane potential using multiple ionsThe resting potentialBecause the plasma membrane is highly permeable to potassium ions, the resting potential is fairly close to -90mV, the equilibrium potential for K+Although the electrochemical gradient for sodium ions is very large, the membrane's permeability to these ions is very low. Consequently, Na+ has only a small effect on the normal resting potential, making it just slightly less negative than it would be otherwise.The sodium-potassium exchange pump ejects 3 Na+ ions for every 2 K+ ions that it brings into the cell. It thus serves to stabilize the resting potential when the ratio of Na+ entry to K+ loss through passive channels is 3:2.At the normal resting potential, these passive and active mechanisms are in balance. The resting potential varies widely with the type of cell. A typical neuron has a resting potential of approx -70mV
