Question
Compare the following:
Resting potential and action potential
Solution
| Resting potential | Action potential | |
| 1. | The difference in electric potential across the recycled charge at rest is shown. | The exciton or outlook orchestra, is depolarized whenever stimulation is observed in any part of the axon. |
| 2. | A potential of -70 mV is generated in the plasma membrane, which is called the static phase potential. | At that place, the potential difference reduces to 30 mV, this is called active potential. |
| 3. | It is the potential difference across the nerve fibre when there is no conduction of nerve impulses. | It is the potential difference across nerve fibre when there is conduction of nerve impulses. |
| 4. | The resting potential describes what actually happens to a neuron when it is at rest. | An action potential occurs when a neuron sends a message down an axon that travels away from the neuron cell body. |
| 5. | The membrane is more permeable to K+ ions than to Na+ ions | The membrane is more permeable to Na+ ions than to K+ ions. |
