Consider the following statements: 1. When a nerve fibre is stimulated, a profound change is produced in the electrical properties of surface membrane and in steady potential. 2. Upon excitation, the resting potentialis suddenly changed. 3. It is due to sudden and several hundred -fold increase in permeability to Na+ ions. 4.
