Neurons are like the ULTIMATE bouncers of your body! The sodium ions (Na+) are constantly trying to crash the cellular party, but they get kicked to the curb with a "IGHT IMMA HEAD OUT." Meanwhile, potassium ions (K+) see all that negative charge inside and go "You son of a bitch, I'm in!" This ionic tug-of-war creates the resting membrane potential that keeps your neurons ready to fire! It's basically a microscopic nightclub with VERY strict door policies. Your brain cells are more exclusive than the fanciest club in town!
Ionic Nightclub: No Na+ Allowed!
