    During repolarization of nerve

    A)  \[{{K}^{+}}\] gate closed and \[N{{a}^{+}}\] gate open

    B)  \[N{{a}^{+}}\] channels are closed and \[{{K}^{+}}\] channels are open

    C)  both gates remain open

    D)  both K+ and Na+ gates are closed

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    During repolarisation \[N{{a}^{+}}\] channels are closed. Actually it occurs due to depolarisation, so that no more \[N{{a}^{+}}\] ions can enter the cell. After about 0.5 ms, permeability to \[{{K}^{+}}\] ion increase because the buildup of positive charge inside the cell opens voltage-gated \[{{K}^{+}}\] channels.
