no- the outside of the cell becomes positively charge while the inside of the cell will become negitvely charged

What causes the inside of neuron becomes positive?
Outside a neuron, there are mostly sodium ions but some potassium ions. Inside the neuron, there are only potassium ions. Since both sodium and potassium are positive ions, and they are in a higher concentration outside the cell, that makes the outside have a more positive charge than the inside. But for all intents and purposes, the outside is positive, and the inside is negative. When the sodium ions (Na+) rush into the cell during depolarization, it causes the concentration of positive ions inside the cell to go WAY up, making the inside more positive than the outside. This means that the outside is now negative and the inside now positive.
What helps maintain the resting potential of a neuron?
During resting potential, the Sodium-Potassium pump is inactive. Therefore, it is indirectly responsible for the resting potential. However, Potassium diffuses outside the membrane via "leakage" channels, and causes the resting potential.
Is cramping linked to potassium deficiency?
Cramping is definitely linked to potassium deficiency, in the fact that your muscles and bones are causing you to have your cramps. When you don't have enough potassium, it causes problems with your bones and muscles.
What causes positive ions to have their positive charge?
they have lost some electrons
Why is positive gravitropism an important adaptation of plant roots?
A. the phenomenon depends upon inhibition of cell elongation of certain root cells by auxins.jB. gravity causes auxins to accumulate on the lower side of roots.C. It depends on more rapid elongation of some cells than othersD. It is mediated by auxin as for phototropismE. All of the above
The role of the sodium potassium pump in maintaining a cells resting membrane potential?
The relative concentration of sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) in the neuron with respect to their concentration in the extracellular space is what causes the electrical potential and the differential concentration is established by a Na-K Atpase which exudes sodium and transports potassium into the neuron.

What are the chemical and word equations for the reaction that causes potassium to tarnish?
potassium + oxygen --> potassium oxide
What cause potassium to be high?
what causes your potassium to be too high
What health benefits does potassium nitrate have?
What causes low potassium and what are the dangers of having low potassium in your body
Is blood pressure regulated by positive or negative feedback?
Aldosterone is both responsible for absorption of sodium and excretion of potassium. If it is regulated by the level of potassium in blood, then we have negative feedback as high levels of aldosterone causes a decrease in potassium level in blood. If it is regulated by the level of sodium in blood, the story is just the opposite and we have positive feedback. -my own conclusion from several researches-
Rapid potassium infusion causes diastolic or systolic cardiac arrest?
Rapid potassium infusion causes diastolic and not systolic cardiac arrest.
What causes oil to accumulate between head and engine block?
An oil leak.
Why is potassium important to the cardiac muscle?
All electrolytes are important to all muscles. In the cells there are sodium/potassium pumps that must be balanced. Some electrolytes are positive and some are negative. The balance (inside the cell vs. outside the cell) causes either contraction or relaxation.
The diffusion of potassium out of a neuron causes it to experience?
repolarization
Is their a nonprescription drug that causes a positive for benzodiazepine?
What exactly do you mean by 'causes a positive?' Please rephrase your question. Thank You Is their a nonprescription drug that causes a false positive for benzodiazepine?
Why does one collapse with low blood pressure and with high potassium in the blood?
high potassium causes arrhythmias and the arrhythmias that it causes can reduce blood pressure causing someone to collapse.
