When the neuron is not conducting any impulse, i.e., resting, the axonal membrane:
1. is comparatively more permeable to sodium ions and nearly impermeable to potassium ions.
2. is freely permeable to sodium ions and potassium ions.
3. is impermeable to sodium ions and potassium ions.
4. is comparatively more permeable to potassium ions and nearly impermeable to sodium ions.

Each time the sodium-potassium pump functions, it actively transports:
1. 3 sodium ions outwards and 2 potassium ions into the cell.
2. 3 sodium ions into the cells and 2 potassium outwards.
3. 2 sodium ions outwards and 3 potassium ions into the cell.
4. 2 sodium ions into the cells and 3 potassium ions outwards.

Consider the given statements:
I. When a stimulus is applied at a site on the polarised axonal membrane, the membrane at that site becomes freely permeable to sodium ions.
II. A rapid influx of sodium at this point leads to reversal of polarity and the membrane at the site is said to be depolarised.
III. The electric potential difference at the site is called the action potential which is in fact termed as nerve impulse.
