How neurons work (1 of 3): neuron structure and resting potential (bioflix tutorial)?

 A neuron is nerve cells that transfer information within the body, chemically over short distances, using electrical signals over long ones.

   As it turns out, most resting neurons are permeable to Na+ and CL- as well as K+. K+ will try to drag the membrane potential toward its (positive) equilibrium potential, while NA+ try to drag the membrane potential to its negative equilibrium potential.

explanation: a sand fence or sandbreak, like a snow fence, is used to force windblown, drifting sand to accumulate in a desired place. sand fences are employed to control erosion, sand dune stabilization, keep sand off roadways, and to recruit new material in desert areas.
