Post differentials. (a). A post differential may be granted on the basis of conditions of environment which differ substantially from conditions of environment in the continental United States and warrant additional pay as a recruitment and retention incentive.
We will also see that in order for a neuron to generate an action potential, the membrane potential has to depolarize from the resting value of around â70 mV to the threshold value of around â50 mV. A similar situation is also at play in muscle cells (skeletal, cardiac, and smooth).
Receptor potential is the same as resting membrane potential. For an impulse to take place there must be a state of readiness in the neuron, so the resting membrane potential is an electrical charge brought about by the difference between positive and negative ions outside and inside the cell, if the ions were distributed equally inside and outside there would be no charge and no potential.
