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.
