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.
