In a resting neuron,the axonal membrane is

  • A
    Nearly impermeable to potassium ions $(K^+)$
  • B
    Impermeable to positively charged proteins present in the axoplasm
  • C
    Comparatively more permeable to $K^+$
  • D
    Completely permeable to sodium ions $(Na^+)$

Which of the following statement/s is/are correct with respect to generation and conduction of nerve impulse?
i. The resting potential difference is $-70 \text{ mV}$.
ii. The voltage-gated $Na^{+}$ and $K^{+}$ channels operate together and are self-closing.
iii. At the peak of action potential,the potential difference rises to $+30$ to $+60 \text{ mV}$.
iv. In medullated nerve fibre,the action potential is conducted as a wave of membrane depolarization.
v. The resting potential is maintained by the closure of gated channels of $Na^{+}$ and $K^{+}$.

Give scientific reasons:
$(1)$ There is no physical connection between sequential neurons,yet nerve impulses are conducted through them.
$(2)$ The neuroplasm of a neuron contains a high $K^+$ concentration during the maintenance of the resting potential.

When a neuron is in resting state $I$ not conducting any impulse,the axonal membrane is :

During the depolarization of the nerve membrane,the nerve behavior is characterized by:

When a nerve fibre is stimulated,the inside of the membrane becomes:
