The resting membrane potential of a neuron is largely determined by the sodium and potassium levels across the plasma membrane.

This is primarily regulated by the Sodium Potassium ATPase in the plasma membrane. The Na/K ATPase pumps out 3 sodiums for every 2 potassium ions pumped in. It is therefore electrogenic and makes the inside of the cell negative with respect to the outside.

in reality, intemembrane electronegativity is achieved again thanks to the work of a protein called¨Na/K ATPase ¨ in the cell membrane, wich pumps out the sodium and pumps in potassium.
