  • node of Ranvier


Which of the following statement is wrong regarding conduction of nerve impulse?

  • In a resting neuron, the axonal membrane is more permeable to K+ ions and nearly impermeable to Na+ ions.

  • Fluid outside the axon has a high concentration of Na+ and low concentration of K+, in a resting neuron

  • Ionic gradients are maintained by Na-K pumps across the resting membrane, which transport 3 Na+ ions outwards for 2K+ ions into the cell.

  • Resting potential is the electrical potential difference across the resting membrane

  • Resting potential is the electrical potential difference across the resting membrane
