Sodium Ions Created Diffused Neurone Electrochemical Gradient Positive

The efflux of sodium ions establishes an electrochemical gradient, making the outside of the cell more positive.

The outward diffusion of sodium ions creates an electrochemical gradient, with more positive ions outside the cell than inside.
