Answer:

Active transport by the Na+-K+ pump

Explanation:

Active transport by the Na+-K+ pump

Maintenance (and restoration) of the resting ion concentrations depends on the Na+-K+ pump. Once gated ion channels are closed, the combined action of the pump and ion leakage (particularly that of K+) establishes a resting membrane potential in a typical neuron of around âˆ'70 mV.
