resting potential

Japanese: resting potential（英語表記）restingpotential

…The ability of a neuron to conduct excitation is linked to the properties of its cell membrane (semipermeable membrane). In general, a cell has a specific potential difference (resting potential) between its internal environment and the external fluid, depending on the properties of the cell membrane. In a non-excited neuron, the concentration of potassium ions (K ^{+ )} in the intracellular fluid is higher than that in the extracellular fluid, and the concentration of sodium ions (Na ^{+ )} is higher in the extracellular fluid. …

From [Membrane potential]

…Cells and intracellular organelles such as mitochondria are surrounded by biological membranes and generate a membrane potential. In all living cells, a potential is observed between the inside and outside of the cell through the cell membrane, and this is called the resting potential. There is generally a large imbalance in the distribution of ions inside and outside the cell. …

*Some of the terminology that mentions "resting potential" is listed below.

…ニューロンの興奮伝導の能力はその細胞膜の性質(半透膜)と結びついている。　一般に細胞においては，それぞれの細胞の細胞膜の性質によって，その内部環境と外液との間にそれぞれの細胞に特有な大きさの電位差(静止電位resting potential)がある。興奮していないニューロンでは，細胞内液のカリウムイオンK^＋濃度は細胞外液のそれよりも高く，ナトリウムイオンNa^＋濃度は細胞外液のほうが高い。…
