Ions Sodium Potassium Rest Sodium Potassium Pump Expels Nerve

At rest, the sodium-potassium pump expels sodium and accumulates potassium. When a neuron fires, these ions move across the membrane via facilitated diffusion through channels.

At rest, the sodium-potassium pump moves sodium ions out and potassium ions in. When a neuron fires, these ions swap locations via facilitated diffusion through specific ion channels.

Front At rest, the sodium-potassium pump expels sodium ions from the nerve cell, while potassium ions are accumulated within. When the neuron fires, 
Back these ions swap locations via facilitated diffusion via sodium and potassium channels
