 What would happen if the neuron’s resting membrane potential was never reset? How would this impact the nervous system’s ability to function?

Inability to function.

The neuron would stay in a "stuck" state and would be unable to fire more action potentials to other neurons. (Paralysis and/or loss of sensory perception)
