Transmission of Nerve Impulses. Nerve cells transmit electric signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a sudden rush of Na* ions, each with charge e*, into the axon. Measurements have revealed that typically about 6.0x1011 Na* ions enter each meter of the axon during a time of 10 ms. What is the current during this inflow of charge in a meter of axon? a) 9.0 microA b) O 9.6 microA C) 6.0 microA d) 6.6 microA e) 9.0 nanoA Boş bırak
