1.

Observe the schematic representation related to maintaining resting membrane potential of an axon.1. What are the conditions exhibited in the figure for maintaining resting membrane potential? 2. What are the other conditions of resting membrane potential (not exhibited in the diagram)

Answer»

1. High permeability of axon wall for K+ , Highly negative charge protein in axoplasm, Na+ – K+ pump. 

2. High K+ concentration inside the axon, High Na+ concentration outside the axon, Low Na+ permeability the axon wall, 3Na+ ions for 2K+ ions.
