Hi everyone, does anyone have any idea on how best to answer this question?

Evaluate and discuss the statement that “The membrane potential arises from movements of charge that leave ion concentrations practically unaffected, causing only a very slight discrepancy in the number of positive and negative ions on the two sides of the membrane.

Is that statement asked in the context of neurology?

And do you have an idea how to answer this question? If so, please do so, and we will evaluate it for you.

I can't answer your question, but I can refer you to the Goldman equation.
