(ii) Different types of ion channels are present on the neural membrane.
(iii) Ion channels are selectively permeable to different membrane.

(v) Resting membrane is impermeable to negatively charged proteins present in the axoplasm.
(vi) The ionic potential across the resting membrane are maintained by the active transport of ions by the sodium-potassium pump.
