Chapter 25, Problem 25.9E
BIO 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 into the axon. Measurements have revealed that typically about 5.6 × 1011 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?
