Question

When a neuron is in resting state i.e. not conducting any impluses, the axonal membrane is
A. Comparatively more permeble to `K+`ions and nearly impermeable to `Na+`ions
B. Comparatively more permeble to `Na+`ions and nearly impermeable to `K+`ions
C. Equally permeable to both `Na^+` and `K^+` ions
D. Imperameable to both `Na^+` and `K^+`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - a
When a neuron is in resting state i.e., not conducting any impulse, the axonal membrane is comparatively more permeable to `K^(+)` ions and nearly impermeable to `Na+` ions.
