Which of the following ions are involved in the initiation of nerve impulse_______________?
Correct answer: A. Na+
- A. Na+
- B. K+
- C. Fe
- D. none of these
Explanation
Sodium ions initiate a nerve impulse when voltage-gated sodium channels open and Na+ enters the neuron, causing rapid depolarization of the membrane. Students may choose potassium because K+ is important in repolarization, but it does not initiate the action potential.
