Answer:

The membrane potential is maintained by moving sodium ions extracellularly and potassium ions intracellularly.

Explanation:

The sodium potassium pump (Na+/K+-ATPase) moves sodium ions extracellularly and potassium ions intracellularly. It is important that the gradient of osmotic equilibrium and membrane potential in cells is maintained.
