Question
At the end of repolarization, the nerve membrane gets hyperpolarized. Why?
Solution
At the end of repolarization, the membrane potential inside the axolemma becomes negative due to the efflux of K+ ions. When it becomes more negative than the resting potential − 70 mV to about – 90 mV, it becomes hyperpolarised.

___________ nervous system prepares us for the fight or flight responses.
Assertion: The imbalance in concentration of Na+, K+ and proteins generates action potential.
Reason: To maintain the unequal distribution of Na+ and K+, the neurons use electrical energy.
The action potential occurs in response to a threshold stimulus; but not at sub-threshold stimuli. What is the name of the principle involved?
Our body contains a large number of cells ‘L’ which are the longest cells in the body. L has long and short branches called ‘M’ and ‘N’ respectively. There is a gap ‘O’ between two ‘L’ cells, through which nerve impulse transfer by the release of chemical substance ‘P’.
