Question
Resting potential of a nerve fibre.
✓
Answer
$1.$The neurons have a property of excitability.
$2.$The transmission of the nerve impulse along the long nerve fibre is a result of electrical changes across the neuronal membrane during conduction of an excitation.
$3.$The plasma membrane separates the outer $[$extra cellular fluid$]$ and inner solutions $[$intra cellular fluid/cytoplasm$]$ of different chemical compounds.
$4.$The external tissue fluid has both $Na^+$ and $K^+$
$5.$On the inside there is an excess of $K^+$ along with large amount of negatively charged protein molecules and nucleic acid.
$6.$This condition of a resting nerve is also called a polarised state and it is established by maintaining an excess of $Na+$ on the outer side.
