At resting membrane potential, which ion concentration is high outside the axonal membrane?(a) Sodium ions(b) Calcium ions(c) Potassium ions(d) Chlorine ionsThe question was posed to me in a national level competition.I want to ask this question from Neuron-1 topic in division Neural Control and Coordination of Biology – Class 11

Answer» RIGHT choice is (a) Sodium ions

The EXPLANATION is: At resting membrane potential, the membrane is permeable to POTASSIUM ions but NEARLY impermeable to sodium ions. Hence, the concentration of sodium ions is higher outside the membrane.
