3 Na out and 2 K in(active transport is always upstream i.e frm lower conc gradient to higher)

Easy way to remember
N(a)EXT of KIN
Na+ exterior of cell
K interior of cell
Pump makes cell negative so it must pump out more positives 3out 2 in

if Na-K ATPase is against conc gradient, just look for conc from the lab value, u don't need to remember anything, what you will find in the lab value, the opposite will occure, you are spending energy to do the job. so Na is more onthe outside, so u need energy to pull Na out
