A) Action potential
B) Resting potential
C) Refractory potential
D) All of these
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
These ionic gradients across the resting membrane are maintained by the active transport of ions by the sodium-potassium pump which transports \[3\text{ }N{{a}_{+}}\]outwards for \[2\text{ }{{K}_{+}}\]into the cell. As a result, the outer surface of the axonal membrane possesses a positive charge while its inner surface becomes negatively charged and therefore is polarised. The electrical potential difference across the resting plasma membrane is called as the resting potential.You need to login to perform this action.
