Question

question 30 (2.5 points) the ionic composition of the intracellular and extracellular fluids become more alike when the neuron depolarizes. true false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When a neuron depolarizes, sodium ions ($Na^+$) rush into the cell. This changes the ionic composition difference between intracellular and extracellular fluids as the concentration of $Na^+$ inside the cell increases and becomes more similar to the extracellular fluid in terms of ion types and concentrations in that moment.
