I may be just a stickler for proper wording, but I feel that the
previous statement is frequently underexplained, misleading
and misused. The statement should read something like ... due
to the electrogenic nature of the Na/K pump and the high K
permeability relative to other ions.
I'm sure you knew this, I simply don't want anyone to be misled.
