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).
Resting membrane potential is: 1  the unequal distribution of ions on the both sides of the cell membrane; 2  the voltage difference of quiescent cells; 3  the membrane potential that would be maintained if there werenât any stimuli or conducting impulses across it;  determined by the concentrations of ions on both sides of the membrane;
