Resting Membrane Potential (RMP) is the voltage (charge) difference across the cell membrane when the cell is at rest. RMP is a product of the distribution of charged particles (ions).he leak channels allow Na+ and K+ to move across the cell membrane down their gradients (from a high concentration toward a lower concentration). With the combined ion pumping and leakage of ions, the cell can maintain a stable resting membrane potential.
1 The outward movement of positive potassium ions makes the inside of the membrane more negative and returns the membrane toward the resting membrane potential (repolarizes the cell). 2  When the membrane potential returns to the resting value, the potassium channels shut down and potassium ions can no longer leave the cell. As we discussed, the inside of the cell is slightly negatively charged (resting membrane potential of -70 to -80 mV). 2  A disturbance (mechanical, electrical, or sometimes chemical) causes a few sodium channels in a small portion of the membrane to open.
