Answer:
There is more sodium outside the cell as compared to the sarcoplasm.; Voltage-gated ion channels are closed.
Explanation:
The Na+/K+ ATPase pump extrudes 3 Na+ ions to the extracellular and 1 K+ ion is pumped inside the cell. This leaves the interior of the cell negative.
To maintain the negative charge Voltage-gated potassium channels close the voltage-gated calcium channels.
