Nervous system/overview of neurons/Pump
The Na-K pump moves potassium (K+) from outside to the inside, and sodium (Na+) from the inside to the outside of the cell. |
The sodium (Na+)-potassium (K+) pump moves potassium (K+) from outside to inside the cell, and sodium (Na+) from inside to outside of the cell. As a result of this pump, the concentration of potassium (K+) is higher inside the cell, and the concentration of sodium (Na+) is higher outside the cell.
