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.
