A biologist investigated the stimulation of a Pacinian corpuscle in the skin of a fingertip.She used microelectrodes to measure the maximum membrane potential of a Pacinian corpuscleand its sensory neurone when different pressures were applied to the fingertip.The figure below shows the Pacinian corpuscle, its sensory neurone and the position of themicroelectrodes.Explain how the resting potential of -70 mV is maintained in the sensory neurone when nopressure is applied.
