When a neuron is in resting state i.e., not conducting any impulse, the axonal membrane is:
 
1. equally permeable to both Na+ and K+ ions
2. impermeable to both Na+ and K+ ions
3. comparatively more permeable to K+ ions and nearly impermeable to Na+ ions
4. comparatively more permeable to Na+ ions and nearly impermeable to K+ ions

During the propagation of a nerve impulse, the action potential results from the movement of:

1. K+ ions from extracellular fluid to intracellular fluid

2. Na+ ions from intracellular fluid to extracellular fluid

3. K+ ions from intracellular fluid to extracellular fluid

4. Na+ ions from extracellular fluid to intracellular fluid

During the transmission of nerve impulses through a nerve fibre, the potential on the inner side of the plasma membrane has which type of electric charge?

1. First negative, then positive, and again back to negative
2. First positive, then negative, and continue to be negative
3. First negative, then positive, and then continues to be positive
4. First positive, then negative, and again back to positive

In the resting state of the neural membrane, diffusion due to concentration gradients, if allowed, would drive:

1. K+ and Na+ out of the cell

2. Na+ into the cell

3. Na+ out of the cell

4. K+ into the cell
