Resting Potential

The electric potential difference across the membrane of a neuron at rest, critical for the transmission of nerve impulses.

Electrical Current

The flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically measured in amperes.

Potassium Ions

Essential electrolytes within the body that play a key role in various cellular functions, including nerve transmission and muscle contraction.
