The relatively static membrane potential of quiescent cells is called the resting membrane potential (or resting voltage), as opposed to the specific dynamic electrochemical phenomena called action potential and graded membrane potential. Apart from the latter two, which occur in excitable cells (neurons, muscles, and some secretory cells in gland...

The neural resting potential is an electrostatic potential difference between the inside of a cell (the cytoplasm) and its surrounding fluid medium (the interstitial fluid). It arises from the operation and interaction of three complex and conflicting factors, namely random molecular movement, metab

The electrical potential of the inside of a cell, relative to its surroundings. Almost all animal cells are negative inside; resting potentials are in the range -20 to -100mV, -70mV typical. Resting potentials reflect the action of the sodium pump only indirectly; they are mainly caused by the subsequent diffusion of potassium out of the cell through potassium leak channels. The resting potential is thus close to the Nernst potential for potassium. See action potential.
