See page 4. g. Na + is a positive ion called a CATION, Cl" is a negative ion called an ANION. Like the poles of a magnet, unlike charges are drawn towards each other. Like charges repel each other. If the numbers of positive and negative charges inside a cell were equal the inside of the cell would be electrically neutral. INTRACELLULAR FLUID , '\ However, essentially all cells of the body have an excess of negative charges inside the cell and an excess of positive charges outside. Thus a POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE exists between the inside and the outside of the cell.
