Which of the following statement/s is/are correct with respect to generation and conduction of nerve impulse?
i. The resting potential difference is -70mvs
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 +60mvs
iv. In medullated nerve fibre, the action potential is conducted wave as of membrane depolarization.
v. The resting potential is maintained by especially closure of gated channels of \(Na ^{+}\) and \(K^{+}\)

  1. A i only
  2. B iii and iv only
  3. C ii, iv and v only
  4. D i, iii and v only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) i, iii and v only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

ii. The voltage gated \(\mathrm{Na}^{+}\)and \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)channels operate separately and are self closing.
iv. In medullated nerve fibre, the action potential cannot travel as a wave of membrane depolarization it has to jump from node to node.
