What role does the sodium-potassium pump play in maintaining the resting potential of a neuron?
It facilitates synaptic transmission by releasing stored neurotransmitters into the synapse.
It prevents action potentials by keeping all sodium and potassium ions outside of the cell.
It generates action potentials by rapidly pumping sodium ions into the cell.
It pumps two potassium ions into the cell for every three sodium ions it pumps out.
