From Wikipedia:
Membrane potential (also transmembrane potential or membrane voltage) is the difference in electric potential between the interior and the exterior of a biological cell. For the exterior of the cell, typical values of membrane potential, normally given in units of milli volts and denoted as mV, range from –40 mV to –80 mV.
